Disruption of this process can lead to a range of clinical anomalies, including delayed eruption, ectopic eruption, and primary failure of eruption (PFE). These anomalies present significant clinical challenges due to their profound implications for occlusal development, periodontal health, and overall patient quality of life. The etiology of eruption anomalies is multifactorial, encompassing local mechanical obstructions (retained deciduous teeth, odontomas, fibrous hyperplastic tissue), systemic disturbances (endocrine or nutritional deficiencies), and genetic conditions such as cleidocranial dysostosis, Trisomy 21, and mutations in the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) gene associated with PFE. Ectopic eruptions, commonly affecting the first permanent molars and maxillary canines, can result in root resorption of adjacent teeth, arch length deficiencies, and long-term malocclusions if not detected early. Meanwhile, PFE is a rare clinical entity wherein teeth fail to respond to the physiological forces of eruption despite the absence of any physical obstruction, making traditional orthodontic treatments ineffective. This review analyzes the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and diagnostic advances associated with delayed and ectopic eruption and PFE, while evaluating available treatment approaches, ranging from interceptive and surgical interventions to prosthodontic rehabilitation. Emphasis is placed on early detection, multidisciplinary collaboration, and personalized clinical planning to optimize outcomes. By synthesizing recent evidence, this review aims to guide clinicians in effectively managing eruption anomalies, highlighting the role of early intervention, precision diagnosis, and long-term patient monitoring. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd>Tooth eruption</kwd> <kwd> eruption anomalies</kwd> <kwd> primary failure of eruption</kwd> <kwd> ectopic eruption</kwd> <kwd> genetic etiologies</kwd> <kwd> treatment approaches</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
