The aim of this study is to discuss a case of an 11-year-old pediatric patient, who was diagnosed with delayed eruption of the permanent maxillary central incisors because of palatally impacted supernumerary teeth.
The delayed eruption of permanent teeth can be a result of blocking by supernumerary teeth and over-retained primary teeth. Early diagnosis can help in avoiding the complications. The management of such cases depends on the stage of teeth development, teeth position, and space availability. Treatment may combine both surgical and orthodontic interventions.
The case was managed by surgically removing the primary retained teeth and supernumerary teeth in two visits then allowing the impacted permanent incisors to erupt without any intervention.
After 18 months follow-up, the two permanent incisors erupted spontaneously with no orthodontic intervention.
dentists should be aware of the importance of early diagnosis of supernumerary teeth. The management of such cases should be designed by a multidisciplinary team decision.
本研究旨在探讨一例11岁儿科患者,该患者因腭侧埋伏多生牙导致上颌恒中切牙萌出延迟。
恒牙萌出延迟可能是由于多生牙和乳牙滞留所致。早期诊断有助于避免并发症。此类病例的治疗取决于牙齿发育阶段、牙齿位置和可用间隙。治疗可能需要手术和正畸干预相结合。
该病例通过两次就诊手术拔除滞留乳牙和多生牙,然后让埋伏的恒切牙自行萌出,未进行任何干预。
经过18个月的随访,两颗恒切牙自行萌出,无需正畸干预。
牙医应意识到早期诊断多生牙的重要性。此类病例的治疗应通过多学科团队决策来制定。
