It was conducted a study to prove the presence of systemic manifestations associated with tooth eruption, an aspect that has been the cause of differences between doctors and stomatologists for a long time. In order to obtain information the mothers of 121 infants aged 6-12 months were interviewed as they had more possibilities to present these manifestations. The statistical method of hypothesis contrast test was applied. There were no differences in connection with sex. Mothers explained the symptoms and signs appearing during tooth eruption that are expressed in percents. The other group said that the eruption was asymptomatic. Among the associated manifestations or pathologies, diarrheas had the greatest incidence, followed by fever, cold, and vomits. Irritability and dermatitis were also present but with less incidence. According to the statistical tests, the results were highly significant, which shows the relationship existing between the systemic manifestations and tooth eruption.
