The WHO defines obesity as abnormal excessive fat accumulation. Indeed, it is the most relevant nutritional disorder in the developed countries. Nutrition turns out to be relevant for childhood development involving different systems and organs as and including teeth development. Prediction of teeth eruption results of relevance in odontopediatrics and more particularly at transitional stages with mixed dentition. Early teeth eruption can lead to dental defects and eventually to periodontal disease. In addition to this, obesity increases chronic periodontitis risk on teenagers and young-adults. Objectives: The aim of the work is to confirm the relation of weigh and dental eruption on six years old children.
