[Therapeutic problems in the infraposition of deciduous molars and molars]

Reflections on the nomenclature, aetiology and genesis are followed by seven case reports. Apart from the description of a new aspect of genesis and apart from therapeutical discussions of the single case, the authors draw some conclusions. The infraposition of deciduous molars requires orthodontic therapy, whereas that of permanent molars necessitates treatment at a special clinic. Suggestions for desirable further studies mark the end of the paper.
