Cone Beam Computerized Tomography Survey of Anatomical Dimensions Associated With Retained Deciduous Teeth
Abstract
This retrospective cross-sectional prevalence study proposes a method for treating patients with retained deciduous teeth. The current literature shows that permanent teeth are congenitally missing in a significant part of the population, yet little is known about the biological mechanisms underlying retention and resorption of these teeth. Retained deciduous teeth may remain functional for an extended period of time, yet can cause problems with clinical treatment planning. Restorative options create complex periodontal and prosthodontic challenges, particularly when faced with placing an implant in these sites.
