A Unique and Newer Approach for Managing Early Loss of Permanent First Molar: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
First permanent molar is the important key factor for developing occlusion and for mastication. In adolescent patients loss of permanent teeth leads to change in arch integrity. During the mixed-dentition stage of dental development, dentists may encounter patients with first permanent molars considered to have a poor long-term prognosis. In this situation, extraction of the tooth and space closure or use of the extraction space for future orthodontic treatment should be considered. The loss of a permanent molar in young adolescent patient creates a need for early space maintenance and restoration of function. To establish function and esthetics short term treatments include interim restorative approaches. Keywords: Fixed prosthesis, Conservative, Functional, Space maintenance, Interim restorations.
