Management of complete impacted maxillary second deciduous molar with the aid of cone-beam computed tomography: Case report and a review of the literature

Abstract

Complete impaction of primary teeth is a very rare condition and less seen at the dental office compared with permanent dentition. To report the use of cone-beam computed tomography in the management of a 7-year-old boy with completely impacted maxillary second deciduous molar due to the presence of odontoma and a cystic lesion.

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning for Primary Molar Ankylosis along with Un-erupted Maxillary Premolar: Case Report

“…The affected teeth are usually deciduous molars with the condition affecting the mandibular second molar most often and the maxillary first molar least often [17]. The etiology of this condition is still not well-defined [6,11,14,[17][18][19][20][21] and there is a debate due to the lack of knowledge about its biological mechanisms [22]. It is associated with trauma, metabolic disorders [9,23], developmental disturbance [24], genetic tendency [8], and a deficiency in vertical-bone growth [10].…”

“…Tooth impaction refers to tooth that fail to erupt [5][6][7] whose etiological factors may involve arch length deficiency, mechanical blockage, ectopic positioning, malformed teeth, trauma, systemic diseases, and overretention of primary teeth or ankylosed primary teeth [2,8].…”

“…The prevalence of impacted premolars has been varied according to age [3,4]. The overall prevalence in adults has been reported to be 0.5% with a range is 0.1% to 0.3% for maxillary premolars and 0.2% to 0.3% for mandibular premolars [3,5].Tooth impaction refers to tooth that fail to erupt [5][6][7] whose etiological factors may involve arch length deficiency, mechanical blockage, ectopic positioning, malformed teeth, trauma, systemic diseases, and overretention of primary teeth or ankylosed primary teeth [2,8].Dentoalveolar ankylosis is an eruption anomaly defined as the union of the tooth root to the surrounding bone [2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] with local elimination of the periodontal ligament and it may impede the normal development of teeth [14,16]. The affected teeth are usually deciduous molars with the condition affecting the mandibular second molar most often and the maxillary first molar least often [17].…”
