Failure of eruption of teeth is a dental condition where the teeth do not erupt, or emerge, from the gums as they should. This condition can occur in both primary (baby) teeth and permanent (adult) teeth.
Causes[edit]
Failure of eruption of teeth can be caused by a variety of factors. These include:
- Genetic disorders: Certain genetic conditions, such as Cleidocranial dysplasia and Gardner's syndrome, can cause failure of tooth eruption.
- Physical obstruction: An obstruction in the mouth, such as a cyst or tumor, can prevent a tooth from erupting.
- Tooth impaction: This occurs when a tooth is blocked from erupting by another tooth.
- Endocrine disorders: Conditions that affect the body's hormone production, such as hypothyroidism, can affect tooth eruption.
Symptoms[edit]
The primary symptom of failure of eruption of teeth is the absence of one or more teeth in the mouth. Other symptoms can include:
- Pain or discomfort in the gums
- Delayed loss of primary teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
Diagnosis[edit]
Diagnosis of failure of eruption of teeth typically involves a dental examination and may also include dental X-rays. These can help to identify any physical obstructions or impacted teeth.
Treatment[edit]
Treatment for failure of eruption of teeth depends on the underlying cause. It may include:
- Orthodontic treatment: This can help to guide the tooth into the correct position.
- Surgical treatment: In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove a physical obstruction or to extract an impacted tooth.
- Dental prosthetics: If a tooth cannot be saved, a dental prosthetic, such as a dental implant or bridge, may be used to replace it.
