“…29 In order to organise programs that effectively prevent childhood caries, it is important to consider the early tooth eruption in obese children. On the other hand, this was conflicting with Raghavan et al 18 who stated obese children experienced delayed eruption and that the mean age of eruption increased with increasing BMI.…”

“…However, it refers to body fatness in children. 18 Due to its effect, studied previously, on child's intelligence, occlusion of primary and permanent teeth, caries risk and the timing of preventative and orthodontic intervention, permanent teeth erupt might be affected by nutritional status. 11,19,20 These dental conditions put a heavy financial strain on the medical system.…”

Background/Aim: The timing of a tooth's eruption can be affected by a variety of factors. The nutritional status has an impact on the development of a child's body. The purpose of the study was to analyse the number of children aged 6 to 9 in an Iraqi Arab population who had erupted permanent first molars and to examine how nutritional status affected the timing and level of emergence. Methods: A total of 330 boys and girls, in first grade elementary school, made up the sample. First molars that had erupted were noted, along with the level of the eruption. Each child's nutritional status was evaluated by recording their height and weight and body mass index (BMI) value was compared to the 2007 WHO reference. Results: Girls had higher number of erupted molars than boys did and a correlation between the number of erupted teeth and nutritional condition existed, with a higher mean number of erupted molars in obese children. Conclusion: BMI had an impact on the timing of the eruption of permanent first molars, a result that was primarily observed in females.

“…Additionally, many authors worldwide report that poor nutrition during the growing period adversely affects dental development, including delay in the eruption of deciduous teeth, congenital dental anomalies, and poor oral health. 7,8,9 Using the Body Mass Index (BMI), it is possible to make reliable measurements of individuals who are obese or overweight, especially teenagers and small children, and this can be a very useful tool. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by his or her height in meters squared.…”

Objective: To determine the association of eruption timing of the mandibular and maxillary first permanent molars with BMI of children in school children of Hyderabad. Subject and Methods: A total of 704 (364 boys 340 girls) school children from various government schools of Hyderabad city were enrolled in the study. All the children were in age range on 5 to 8 years. A dental examination was conducted to determine the presence of permanent mandibular and maxillary first molars. Children's height and weight were recorded in meters and kilograms, and their BMI was calculated. The SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze the data Results: Out of 704, there were 364 (51.70%) boys and 340 (48.29%) girls. Mandibular 1st molar was the 1st tooth to erupt with mean age of 5.83±1.2 in boys and in girls it was 5.52±1.2. Most of the children were reported with normal weight as per BMI. Conclusion: An earlier median eruption timing was recorded for the mandibular permanent first molar compared to the maxillary permanent first molar. All the teeth examined in girls erupted earlier than in boys. Keywords: Eruption Timing, Body Mass Index, Mandibular First Molar, Maxillary First Molar, Children
