Prevalence of pre‐eruptive intracoronal radiolucencies in Thai children and adolescents: A retrospective study

Abstract

The present study showed that the prevalence of PEIR in Thai samples is 1.63%. This could raise dentists' awareness in reviewing unerupted teeth in panoramic radiographs. Early detection of the lesions should aid in proper treatment planning of affected teeth to prevent complications from carious invasion after tooth eruption.
