Ectopic eruption of the permanent first molar is defined as the eruption of the tooth in an abnormal position or orientation. It may causes distal root resorption and premature exfoliation of the adjacent primary second molar and uncontrolled space loss is followed. Prolonged partial impaction of the permanent molar may also cause undetected caries or abscess formation of the neighbor teeth. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review regarding the etiology, classification, and different management techniques for correcting ectopic eruption of permanent first molar.
