The process of tooth eruption involves complex interactions between genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. 'Infraocclusion' refers to a tooth that is positioned below the normal plane of occlusion. This study aims to determine the frequency of occurrence of infraocclusion in the primary molars and to find out whether there are associations between infraocclusion and several variables. Further, it is planned to clarify the roles of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors in contributing to observed variation in infraocclusion, and to estimate the frequency of occurrence of some selected dental anomalies in association with infraocclusion. Orthopantomographs of 1,454 healthy singleton Finnish boys and girls aged between 9-10 years, and study models of 320 Australian twin pairs aged between 8-10 years were examined. Adobe Photoshop CS5 computer software was used to construct reference lines (from the mesial marginal ridge of the mandibular first permanent molar to the cusp tip of the primary canine or the mesioincisal edge of the permanent lateral incisor). The distances between reference points were measured (in mm) for both samples and categorised into non-infraoccluded, mild, moderate, and severe. Genetic modelling was also used to quantify the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to observed variation. The orthopantomographs were examined for the presence of associated dental anomalies. Dental age and tooth size assessment were carried out in individuals showing infraocclusion. Descriptive statistics, including mean values, standard deviations and percentage frequencies, were used to summarise data within groups and comparisons between groups were made using t-tests and chi-square analyses. The overall prevalence of infraocclusion was 22% in singletons, and 27 % in twins. The primary mandibular first molar was the most commonly affected tooth (21% in singletons and 28% in twins compared with 6% and 18% for the mandibular second molar in singletons and twins respectively). Genetic modelling indicated a strong genetic contribution (~94%) to observed variation in the primary mandibular first molar, while common and unique environmental factors contributed to infraocclusion of the primary mandibular second molar. Investigation of MZ twin pairs revealed differences in the expression of infraocclusion within some twin pairs, for example, mirror imaging. These findings reflect epigenetic events and/or environmental disturbances that have occurred during the developmental process. Analysis of dental anomalies in singletons revealed a significant association of ectopic canines and the lateral incisor complex with infraocclusion. Individuals showing infraocclusion displayed delayed dental development and evidence of reduced primary tooth size. The findings showed that genetic factors play a major role in contributing to infraocclusion of the primary mandibular first molar, whereas environmental factors contribute more to variation in infraocclusion of the second molar. These environmental factors could occur in the prenatal or early postnatal stages of life and may disrupt the network of epithelial rests of Malassez, leading to localised areas of ankylosis. A possible pleiotropic effect was reflected by the presence of associated dental anomalies with infraocclusion. These findings are significant in improving understanding of the basic biological mechanisms and associated features of infraocclusion, and should assist clinicians in providing proper counselling, early diagnoses, prevention and treatment planning for affected individuals.
