Twenty-four patients with ectopic eruption of permanent first molars were included as the experimental group, while 23 age- and sex-matched children comprised the control group. Panoramic radiographs were used to assess molar angulation and digital dental models were used to assess arch length, arch perimeter, intercanine and intermolar distances. Data reliability was assessed using paired t-tests and Dahlberg\u2019s formula. Statistical analysis included Shapiro-Wilk tests, independent t-tests or Mann-Whitney tests, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression to evaluate predictors of ectopic eruption.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Ectopic eruption was observed in 2.66% of children, predominantly in the maxilla.
