Dental implants in children: A multidisciplinary perspective for long-term success

Abstract: Congenital hypodontia or trauma is a frequent cause of loss of teeth in children. The absence of teeth leads to loss of function and lack of normal alveolar growth, along with unpleasant esthetics that hamper the psychosocial development of the young child. Traditionally, the management of tooth loss in the young child is done by conservative means. None of those methods of treatment are completely satisfactory and have their own drawbacks. Dental implants in a young child would be an ideal mode of treatment f… Show more

“…Should we have waited for growth completion, this opportunity would have been missed. Additionally, reports establish that in some cases, implants can be placed in the interforaminal region of the mandible since closure of the mandibular symphysis occurs in the first year of life (Agarwal et al, 2016).…”

“…8 Loss of teeth not only leads to loss of function but also affects the growth of alveolar bone. 9 Concerning the growth of jaw bones, its completion is first seen in a transverse plane, then in sagittal IJOICR and lastly in the vertical plane. Hence it is important that the displacement of the entire bony complex via the sutural growth be followed by the oral implants to ease in prosthetic rehabilitation in later stages if it crosses the suture.…”

“…It is estimated that 180 million children have had at least one traumatic dental injury, which is one of the leading reasons for tooth loss in growing patients [1]. In addition, agenesis of second premolars, maxillary lateral incisors and mandibular incisors is also a frequent reason for tooth loss [2]. Among the most common causes of agenesis are congenital hypodontia/anodontia, which can be related to syndromes such as ectodermal dysplasia (ED) [2,3,4].…”

Among the most common causes of agenesis are congenital hypodontia/anodontia, which can be related to syndromes such as ectodermal dysplasia (ED) [2,3,4]. Prosthodontic rehabilitation in growing patients (children and adolescents) is routinely performed in clinical practice, mostly before school enrollment to minimize nutrition, speech and esthetic impairments [4].…”
