The aetiology of submerged primary molars is not known and optimal treatment has still not been established. If submerged primary teeth are left untreated, the occlusal consequences are space-loss due to tipping of adjacent teeth and/or overeruption of the opposing teeth. Normally, treatment consists of extraction of the deciduous teeth or observation for normal exfoliation. Here we report a case where the submerged primary molar was extracted surgically after space-loss had been regained.
乳牙下沉的病因尚不清楚,最佳治疗方法也尚未确立。如果对下沉的乳牙不进行治疗,咬合方面的后果是相邻牙齿倾斜和/或对颌牙齿过度萌出导致的间隙丧失。通常,治疗方法包括拔除乳牙或观察其正常脱落。在此,我们报告一例在间隙恢复后通过手术拔除下沉乳牙的病例。
