Submerging primary molars in Israeli rural children

E Koyoumdjisky-Kaye, S Steigman

    Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology
    |August 1, 1982

    Summary

    Submerged primary molars affect nearly a quarter of Israeli children, with prevalence increasing with age. Mandibular molars are most commonly affected, with submersion severity also rising with age.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Dental Public Health

    Background:

    • Submerged primary molars, a condition where teeth are partially or fully covered by gingiva, can impact oral health.
    • Prevalence data on submerged primary molars in specific populations, like rural Israeli children, is crucial for understanding oral health trends.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of submerged primary molars in a cohort of Israeli rural children.
    • To analyze the association of submersion with age, sex, and tooth type.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of dental study casts from 1530 Israeli rural children aged 3-13 years.
    • Assessment of primary molar submersion, recording affected teeth, degree of submersion, location, and demographic factors.

    Main Results:

    • 24.8% of children had at least one submerged primary molar; 8.81% of at-risk teeth were affected.
    • Primary mandibular first and second molars were most frequently submerged (over 50% and 26% respectively).
    • Submersion prevalence and severity increased with age; girls showed higher prevalence between 5-7 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Submerged primary molars represent a notable dental issue in the studied pediatric population.
    • Age is a significant factor influencing both the occurrence and severity of primary molar submersion.
    • Targeted preventive and management strategies may be needed, particularly for younger age groups and specific tooth types.
