The aim of this study was to estimate the chronology and sequence of eruption of deciduous teeth and its related factors in a sample of children from two regions in the City of Vitoria, ES. The study data derived from a longitudinal study conducted from 2003 to 2006. 86 newborns were followed to the 36th month of age. Data collection was obtained by applying a form to the mothers and performing a clinical examination in the children. A total of 67 children remained until the end of the study. Average deciduous teeth eruption for each child was calculed. Statistic kappa, McNemar and adjusted kappa prevalence tests were applied. Then, Survival Analysis was perfomed. The results showed the average deciduous teeth eruption ranged between eight to 29 months of age in the lower jaw, and 11-30 months in the upper arch. Higher levels of agreement were for the eruption age for deciduous incisors and canines (71/81, kappa = 0.82, 95% CI 0.72 to 0.93; 53/63, kappa = 0.76, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.88) than for deciduous molars. The factors related to the chronology of eruption of the deciduous teeth, was identified in the statistic Cox Regression. Children's eating habits may influence the speeding and the slowing of the eruptive process. It is recommended the knowledge of deciduous eruption profile of each population as so, such evidences can be the basis for the implementation of measures to prevent and control this population's health. Also, to assist in developing strategies, with protection actions and health promotion. This actions have the purpose to prevent possible oral or general changes in the child growth and development, and also improve quality of life of this population.
