Early intervention for submerged teeth can prevent complex dental surgery. This case highlights the risks of delayed treatment for impacted teeth near nerves.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Submerged deciduous teeth can lead to impaction of permanent successors.
  • The proximity of developing teeth to the inferior alveolar nerve presents surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old male presented with a submerged mandibular second deciduous molar and an impacted mandibular second premolar.
  • The impacted premolar was closely related to the inferior alveolar nerve.

Findings:

  • Surgical extraction required extensive bone removal and mental nerve transposition due to the tooth's position.
  • The complex anatomy necessitated a challenging surgical procedure.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and management of submerged teeth are crucial to avoid extensive surgery.
