Management of a Severely Submerged Primary Molar: A Case Report

Abstract: Ankylosis is a condition frequently associated with primary molars, wherein the ankylosed primary teeth remain in a fixed position, while the adjacent teeth continue to erupt, moving occlusally. In this case report, a five-year-old boy, who had a retained and submerged left lower second primary molar, was presented. Luxation of ankylosed primary molar was considered as a treatment approach. After four months, the tooth erupted to the occlusal level, and there was evidence of further development of a permanent … Show more

“…ankylosis or other associated problems, such as caries in the primary molars, resorption of the primary molars, periodontal problems and bone resorption, mesial tipping of the distal or mesial permanent tooth, and super-eruption of the opposing permanent tooth. Various treatment approaches have been proposed, which are dependent on the age of the patient, developmental stage of the root, the position of the primary molar, number of affected teeth, severity of tipping of the adjacent permanent teeth, and the presence or absence of the permanent mandibular second premolars [7].…”

“…Ankylosis can affect both sexes (Silva) and it is more frequent in deciduous teeth (10:1) (Loriato et al;Cohen-Levy et al, 2011;Bertl et al;Silva), with frequency between 1.5 % and 9.9 % (Atobi et al, 2009;Loriato et al), especially when the permanent successor is missing (Bertl et al), affecting mainly mandibular deciduous first molars (Loriato et al;Alves et al;Bertl et al;Parisay et al, 2013), followed by second mandibular and maxillary deciduous molars (Parisay et al).…”

“…Primary diagnosis of ankylosed teeth is made by clinical assessment through mobility and percussion tests, in these cases the tooth makes a metallic sound (Campbell et al, 2005;Lim et al, 2008;Berl et al, 2012;Gault et al;Lin et al;Mohadeb et al;Silva), unlike healthy teeth, in which the sound is neutralized by periodontal ligament (Berl et al, 2012;Parisay et al;Silva).…”
