Early eruption and advanced root development of the permanent cuspids in a six-year-old boy.

A case report showing the eruption of the left maxillary and mandibular permanent cuspids in a six-year-old boy, is presented. In addition, the dental age of all the permanent cuspids as seen by the eruption and tooth development suggested that the cuspids are comparable to those seen in a 13 to 14 year-old-boy. A search of the literature has not revealed any such reports.
