Some further observations on submerging deciduous molars

I D Brown

    British Journal of Orthodontics
    |April 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Submerging deciduous molars in children are not linked to distinct facial proportions. However, these children show a higher prevalence of developmentally absent premolar teeth, indicating a potential association.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • Submerging deciduous molars are a common pediatric dental concern.
    • Previous research has explored potential associations between submerging molars and craniofacial development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if children with submerging deciduous molars exhibit different facial proportions compared to controls.
    • To determine the prevalence of developmental tooth agenesis in children with submerging deciduous molars.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study comparing 54 children with submerging deciduous molars to 60 controls.
    • Groups were matched for sex, age, and occlusion.
    • Facial proportions were analyzed, and the prevalence of developmentally absent premolars was recorded.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in facial proportions were found between the submerging molar group and controls when matched for key variables.
    • A statistically significant higher prevalence of developmentally absent premolar teeth was observed in the submerging deciduous molar group (p < 0.001).
    • No significant sex-based differences were noted in the number, location, or quadrant involvement of submerging deciduous molars.

    Conclusions:

    • Submerging deciduous molars do not appear to be associated with altered facial proportions in children.
    • A higher incidence of developmental absence of premolars is linked to the presence of submerging deciduous molars.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms connecting these dental anomalies.
