  • Title: Infraclusion of lower primary molar with other familial dental anomalies: report of case.
    Author: Atwan S, DesRosiers D.
    Journal: ASDC J Dent Child; 1998; 65(4):272-5, 230. PubMed ID: 9740948.
    Abstract:
    Impaction of a primary tooth is a rare occurrence compared to impaction of a permanent tooth. Impaction should be differentiated from reimpaction, a condition in which an erupted tooth loses its apical movement and impaired development of the alveolar bone surrounding the tooth occurs. In dental ankylosis, the height of the alveolar process stops in the affected area, the adjoining teeth continue to move occlusally, and neighboring teeth drift. The author discusses the uncertain etiology of reimpaction. The history of a three-year-old patient is presented.
