Unique Eruption Pattern: Second Premolar Eruption without Root Resorption of Its Predecessor: A Case Report

Abstract

This case describes an unusual eruption path of mandibular second premolar. In normal circumstances, the tooth
follicle of the premolars are located between the roots of their predecessors and as the crown of the premolars develop
and part of the root formed, the eruption commences causing gradual root resoption of primary molars and subsequent
shedding. In the present case the right mandibular second premolar amazingly managed to erupt in normal alignment
without causing root resorption of its predecessor.
