Premature loss of permanent dentition from caries, trauma, iatrogenic damage or developmental abnormalities. The tooth of choice to replace a tooth missing in the anterior maxillary region is the maxillary second premolars. Poor prognosis first permanent molars can be replaced with third molars
There are 32 permanent teeth and those of the maxillae (on the top) erupt in a different order from permanent mandibular (on the bottom) teeth. Maxillary teeth typically erupt in the following order: (1) first molar (2) central incisor, (3) lateral incisor, (4) first premolar, (5) second premolar, (6) canine, (7) second molar, and (8) third molar.
The Hall technique can also be used with permanent first molars in some cases where prognosis is poor, such as where first permanent molars are hypomineralised, carious with poor prognosis but to be maintained until full eruption of second molars, or for cuspal coverage of endodontically treated teeth in minors with compliance issues preventing ...
For an ankylosed molar, distal teeth can respond to orthodontic force normally and thus can be used as substitute if the ankylosed tooth is extracted [citation needed]. Surgical luxation is sometimes used to break the ankylosis bridge to restore occlusion [citation needed]. For a case of PFE, the targeted molar can only be treated by osteotomy ...
Mandibular teeth erupt in the following order: (1) first molar (2) central incisor, (3) lateral incisor, (4) canine, (5) first premolar, (6) second premolar, (7) second molar, and (8) third molar. Since there are no premolars in the primary dentition, the primary molars are replaced by permanent premolars. [ 48 ]
The maxillary teeth are the maxillary central incisors (teeth 8 and 9 in the diagram), maxillary lateral incisors (7 and 10), maxillary canines (6 and 11), maxillary first premolars (5 and 12), maxillary second premolars (4 and 13), maxillary first molars (3 and 14), maxillary second molars (2 and 15), and maxillary third molars (1 and 16).
Historically, many asymptomatic impacted third molars were removed, however, both American and British Health Authorities now provide guidance about the indication for third molar removal. [8] The American Public Health Association , for example, adopted a policy, Opposition to Prophylactic Removal of Third Molars (Wisdom Teeth), because of the ...
Class IV Caries affecting proximal including incisal edges of anterior teeth. Class V Caries affecting gingival 1/3 of facial or lingual surfaces of anterior or posterior teeth. Class VI Caries affecting cusp tips of molars, premolars, and cuspids. Graham J. Mount's classification: Mount classified cavities depending on their site and size. [11]
