Summary
Over-retained primary teeth can cause painful jaw swelling in children. This case study shows extracting these teeth and minimal surgery for cysts aids healing and protects permanent teeth.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Endodontics
Background:
- Over-retained deciduous teeth are primary teeth that persist beyond their normal exfoliation timeline.
- These teeth can lead to complications such as infection, impaction of permanent teeth, and pathological lesions.
- Peri-radicular cysts, often associated with non-vital teeth, require careful management, especially in pediatric patients.

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...

Tooth Anatomy
391
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...

Fractures: Bone Repair
3.0K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
