Chronology and sequence of permanent tooth eruption in children in Buenos Aires City.
Observational study in Acta odontologica latinoamericana : AOL, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Knowledge of the timing and sequence of permanent tooth eruption is essential for assessing occlusal development and providing population-specific reference standards to support diagnosis, prevention, and treatment planning.
aimTo estimate mean age for eruption of permanent teeth, except third molars, in children in Buenos Aires City (CABA), compare means according to sex, jaw and laterality, and identify the eruption sequence per arch. MATERIALS AND
methodAn observational, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted (March-July 2024) on 4- to 15-year-old children who received care at Buenos Aires University's School of Dentistry and at four private offices in Buenos Aires City. A tooth was considered erupted when at least one cusp or incisal edge pierced the gingival epithelium. Mean ages were estimated using the Kärber method with 95 % confidence intervals (CI), and the sequence was established by placing those means in order.
resultsWe evaluated 1,063 children (532 female), mean age 9.9 ± 2.6 years. The first teeth to erupt were lower central incisors, and the last were upper second molars. No difference was observed between hemiarches. Teeth belonging to the lower incisor-canine group erupted significantly earlier than their homologous upper teeth. Girls presented earlier eruption than boys, with significant differences for all teeth except upper central incisors, and upper and lower first molars. Sequence for the upper jaw was 6-1-2-4-3-5-7 in girls, and 6-1-2-4- 5-3-7 in boys. Sequence in the mandible was 1-6-2-3-4-5-7 in girls, and 1-6-2-4-3-5-7 in boys, with chronological proximity between canine and premolars in some comparisons.
conclusionIn this sample, eruption began with lower central incisors, was symmetrical, earlier in girls, and earlier in the lower incisor-canine group, with sequential stability in both sexes during the first transitional period, and variations in the second.
