Ankylosed Primary Tooth Under the Premolar Germ: Clinical Findings and Treatment Planning

Abstract

The impaction of primary teeth is not a common occurrence. In a patient who presented to our clinic, it was observed that the lower second primary molar was situated below the premolar germ. Considering information from previous studies, ankylosis in the primary tooth is presumed to be the underlying cause. After the extraction of the supernumerary tooth in the area, the patient will undergo long-term comprehensive monitoring.

Premolar Germin Altında Ankiloze Süt Dişi: Klinik Bulgular ve Tedavi Planlaması

Abstract

Süt dişlerinin gömülü kalması sık karşılaşılan bir durum değildir. Kliniğimize başvuran bir hastada alt ikinci süt azı dişinin premolar germin altında yer aldığı görüldü. Önceki çalışmalardan elde edilen bilgiler dikkate alındığında altta yatan nedenin süt dişindeki ankiloz olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bölgedeki süpernümerer dişin çekimi sonrasında hasta uzun süreli kapsamlı bir takip altına alınacaktır
