Summary
Submerged deciduous teeth, depressed below the occlusal plane, can cause significant malocclusion. Dental ankylosis is a primary factor, impacting permanent tooth eruption and alignment.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Pediatric Dentistry
Background:
- Submerged teeth are depressed below the occlusal plane, often due to dental ankylosis.
- Deciduous teeth submergence can impede permanent tooth replacement and affect dental arch development.
Observation:
- Presents three distinct clinical cases of submerged deciduous teeth.
- Details the specific clinical presentations and observations in each case.
Findings:
- Submerged deciduous teeth can lead to malocclusion by preventing exfoliation and permanent tooth eruption.
- Observed effects include tilting of adjacent teeth and extrusion of opposing teeth.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of recognizing and managing submerged deciduous teeth in pediatric dental care.
- Underscores the potential for long-term orthodontic complications if left untreated.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
