Introduction: Tooth eruption is a complex process and may fail to occur due to several reasons. Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is one of the rare eruption disturbances which do not related to any obstruction in the eruptive pathway or any systematic disorders. This type of eruption failure often affects the posterior teeth and results in subsequent posterior open bite. Any orthodontic attempt is ineffective due to lack of inherent eruptive potential of tooth. Case Report: An 8-year-old skeletal class II young boy with posterior open bites was referred to our department for the poor chewing function. Clinical finding showed …
