They constantly need an \u201cup-to-date mirror\u201d of its variability for different geographic regions. The aims of the current study were to determine the timing and sequence of primary tooth emergence, and to establish a correlation between tooth eruption and general growth and external parameters in a sample of Romanian children. This study included 70 healthy children (53% girls and 47% boys), and the analysed data resulted from the questionnaires completed by parents during the whole process. General and specific data on primary teeth eruption were obtained. The differences between sexes were insignificant, except for the maxillary and mandibular canines (p = 0.047 and p = 0.018) and lower temporary second molars (p &lt; 0.001), which were significantly increased in boys. The differences found between the two hemiarches were insignificant (p = 0.197). The mean age of eruption of the first tooth erupted was 7.07 \u00b1 1.990 months. The unpaired t-test was used for comparison of the timings of eruption of the first primary teeth, according to the number of previous births and type of diet, and it was insignificant (p = 0.665 and p = 0.983 respectively).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12030606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]],"date-time":"2022-02-28T20:09:57Z","timestamp":1646078997000},"page":"606","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Eruption Timing and Sequence of Primary Teeth in a Sample of Romanian Children"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1863-2263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilia","family":"Ogodescu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Research Center, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry \u201cVictor Babes\u201d, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Eftimie Murgu Square No. 2, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Malina","family":"Popa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Research Center, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry \u201cVictor Babes\u201d, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Eftimie Murgu Square No. 2, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Isac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, Emergency Municipal Clinical Hospital of Timisoara, Str.
