Q

The effects of the premature tooth loss will vary depending on some factors such as: (6)

A 
• Tooth that has been lost
• Number of teeth lost

Q

Loss of space: mesial force of the posterior teeth while they erupt? (4)

A

•Mesial drift tendency
•Upper teeth> Lower teeth
•It happens when the tooth is lost, disappearing the
contact point
•The posterior tooth drifts towards the space, loosing
space and arch length

Q

Loss of space: Agenesis? (5)

A

•Less frequent in primary dentition than in permanent dentition.
•The most frequent are the agenesis of: 2nd lower premolar, upper
lateral incisor, 2nd upper premolar, lower lateral incisor
•54% of the cases do not have occlusal alterations
•16% of the cases need an orthodontic treatment
•30% of the cases are resolved by doing extraction of the
primary tooth and closing the space

Q

Loss of space: Ectopic eruption of the first permanent molars? (2)

Q

Factors that reduce the space loss or the osteodental discrepancy? (7)

There are physiological spaces in the primary dentition that
may buffer both:
•Anterior diastemas
•Eruption towards labial of the upper incisors
•Primate space
•Leeway space of Nance
     •0,9mm upper hemiarch

Q

Clinical study of space loss: Occlusal relationship - What happens when there is a loss of a 2nd primary molar? (2)

Q

Clinical study of space loss: Occlusal relationship - What happens with the upper 1st molar? (2)
