Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the eruption of the mandibular teeth with Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), considering the developmental stage of these teeth. The structural method of superimposition was used to show the dental eruption from a stable anatomical reference line (ARL) and from the oclusal plane (OCP). Method: 98 CBCT of 39 individuals of 5 to 13-years were selected from the archives of the Faculty of Dentistry of PUCRS. Multiplanar reconstructions similar to cephalometric radiographs were generated by Invivo Dental 5.0 software, and saved in JPEG files. The images of each subject were superposed using the software Adobe Illustrator CS3, employing for registration the stables anatomical reference structures from Björk and Skieller. The permanent lower canines, first lower premolars, second lower premolars and permanent lower second molars were classified by development stage with Demirjian method. The distances from these teeth to ARL and OCP were obtained. To compare the speed of the stages among the different teeth was performed the non-parametric test of Kruskal-Wallis. The comparisons between the speeds of eruption (in mm/year) from ARL with OCP were made with Wilcoxon signed-rank test for related samples. Result: The greatest speeds of eruption from ARL were found for canines (5.75 mm/year) and second premolars (4.93 mm/years) in stages E and F, respectively. The speeds of eruption measured from ARL compared with the measured from OCP presented statistically significant differences in the stage E for first premolars, second premolars and second molars; and in stage F for canines, second premolars and second molars. Conclusion: The speeds of eruption tend to be higher when measured from the LRA. When the PLO was used, changes in the inclination of the plan and alveolar growth mask the speed at which the tooth is moved from its initial position.
