title: Eruption process of upper permanent canine.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate normal eruptive pattern of upper permanent canine. One hundred and fifty-one panoramic radiographs were used. Inclination of upper canine and lateral incisor, length and horizontal and vertical positions of cusp and root apex of the canine were evaluated. The canine erupted with increasing distal inclination and with no significant changes of the lateral incisor. Developmental changes of the canines relative to palatal plane and midline were shown by figures.
