RESUMO
This study evaluated the eruption sequence of the permanent maxillary canine in patients to determine if it follows the previously established normal pattern: first premolar, second premolar, and canine. A total of 363 panoramic radiographs of patients 7-12 years of age were evaluated; in 261 (72%) of the patients, the permanent canine erupted after the first and second premolars. Based on the results obtained in this study, the eruption sequence of the permanent maxillary canine followed the historical normal pattern for the majority of patients in this population. The difference in eruption sequence for males versus females was not significant.
