The retention of caps may predispose to delayed eruption of the underlying permanent cheek tooth and the development of '''eruption cysts''' (three- or four-year-old ‘bumps’) on the mandible under the developing apices (‘root area’) of the permanent cheek teeth. The presence of very enlarged eruption cysts, especially if unilateral, should prompt a referral
