Abstract
Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare, nonsyndromic condition in which non-ankylosed teeth fail to erupt either fully or partially due to malfunction of the eruption mechanism. Three young patients are presented in this article with features consistent with a diagnosis of PFE. The features of this condition are described together with different modalities of treatment planning for such patients. The following is a discussion about zygoma implants as a new approach to treatment for patients with PFE requiring full-mouth rehabilitation.
