The eruption age of the permanent canine, first premolar, and second premolar were compared between two groups of children using cross-sectional data. Two eruption ages were determined for each of the tooth types and both ages were compared between the two groups. This approach is presented as a means of negating the influence of differences in the time interval for a tooth type on eruption age differences between groups.
