Patterns of permanent tooth emergence in Gujjars were studied in a cross-sectional sample of 483 children ranging in age from 6 to 13 years. Females were markedly advanced in permanent tooth emergence times over males, but no such sex differences were observed in sequence of emergence. Differences between median emergence times of right and left side antimers were significant for only 4 of 28 instances (14.29%), namely central incisors, mandibular first molars in males and lateral maxillary incisors in females. In general mandibular teeth except premolars tended to emerge earlier than their maxillary counterparts. The quiescent period between first and second tooth emergence stages was longer in males than in females. Mandibular depth and morphological facial length were very significantly correlated (p < 0.01) with the number of permanent teeth present in the oral cavity.
