  • Title: Treatment of ectopic first permanent molar teeth.
    Author: Hennessy J, Al-Awadhi EA, Dwyer LO, Leith R.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2012 Nov; 39(9):656-8, 660-1. PubMed ID: 23479855.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Ectopic eruption of the first permanent molar is a relatively common occurence in the developing dentition. A range of treatment options are available to the clinician provided that diagnosis is made early. Non-treatment can result in premature exfoliation of the second primary molar, space loss and impaction of the second premolar. This paper will describe the management of ectopic first permanent molars, using clinical examples to illustrate the available treatment options. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This paper is relevant to every general dental practitioner who treats patients in mixed dentition.
