Impacted and ankylosed teeth: why, when, and how to intervene.

چکیده
For patients in the deciduous dentition, early treatment often means treatment of lateral crossbites. With lateral crossbites occurring in 10% to 15% of children, one might ask: why treat these children early? One common answer is because of the risk for unilateral masticatory function and growth restriction, which might later lead to temporomandibular joint problems or facial asymmetry. However, little scientific evidence is available about future problems, especially on an individual basis. The best age for crossbite treatment has been discussed. Some advocate maxillary expansion in the early mixed dentition. We can treat in the deciduous dentition by grinding, but the long-term effects are not well documented. In a study, the success rate of grinding to correct a crossbite was about 60%. However, in this report, spontaneous correction occurred in up to 45% of the untreated patients. This means that treatment of lateral crossbite in the deciduous dentition might, in many cases, be unnecessary. More information is needed about the long-term risks of untreated lateral crossbites, the effectiveness of different treatment methods, and whether to treat early or late. The questions of why, when, and how to intervene are important for all tooth eruption and occlusal problems in the developing dentition. Impacted teeth—mesiodens
