Non–syndromic impacted primary molar with eruption disturbance in premolars: A case report of an unusual occurrence

Abstract

Tooth impaction is a commonly observed dental anomaly frequently discussed in the dental literature. Overall, the prevalence of impacted teeth in deciduous dentition ranges between 1.3% to 8.9%, with siblings experiencing a noticeably greater incidence. Based on the data, the most impacted primary teeth seen in children are second deciduous molars, followed by primary central incisors. Impaction of primary teeth may be associated with disturbance in their permanent successors, so long-term observation is necessary until the permanent successors erupt.
