  • Title: Infraoccluded Upper Deciduous Second Molars Leading to Caries in the Permanent Dentition.
    Author: Rooney C, Suida I, Spencer J.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2015 Jun; 42(5):485-7. PubMed ID: 26964450.
    Abstract:
    Infraocclusion of primary teeth is a problem that can be recognized early by the general dental practitioner. Allowing affected teeth to deteriorate beyond a point where active intervention would be recommended can make treatment of the condition more complex or may lead to unexpected sequelae. The case described in this report of infraoccluded primary teeth, suffered pathology in adjacent teeth, leading to multiple extractions and fixed orthodontic treatment post surgery. This case highlights the need for early recognition of infraocclusion by the GDP and will suggest interceptive treatment options. CPD/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: To highlight the need of interceptive orthodontics in primary care when required.
