TREATMENT OF CHILDREN WITH RETAINED PERMANENT TEETH USING ORTHODONTIC IMPLANT-SUPPORTED THERAPY
Downloads
Objective: This study aims to propose a comprehensive orthodontic treatment method for children with retained permanent teeth, taking into account individual anomalies, patient age, and the degree of tooth root formation when using orthodontic implant support. Method: A sample of 14 children with retained permanent teeth was treated using orthodontic implants between 2013 and 2015. The diagnosis included clinical and radiographic examinations, and the treatment approach was based on the cause of the retention, the tooth's position, and the degree of root formation. Treatment included removal of supernumerary teeth, surgical crown exposure, and orthodontic appliances. Results: The primary causes of retention were supernumerary teeth, incorrect alignment, and insufficient space in the dental arch. Most children showed successful eruption of permanent teeth within 2–6 months after treatment, with an orthodontic treatment period of 9–12 months. Novelty: This study introduces a holistic approach to treating retained teeth in children, emphasizing personalized treatment based on clinical assessments, root development, and available space, which enables quicker and more effective normalization of dental arch positions.
