    Infraocclusion is a condition frequently associated with primary molars. The infraoccluded primary teeth remain in a fixed position, while the teeth adjacent to them continue to erupt, moving occlusally. It is generally accepted that the cause of the altered occlusal level is ankylosis of the affected tooth.

    Recreating space for a severely infraoccluded second deciduous molar resulted in ‘eruption’ of the tooth without the need for extraction.

    Do these teeth naturally shed or do they have to be extracted?

    The condition of the root of the deciduous molar tells whether they are going too exfoliate or not…so get the x-ray done but in most of the cases it needs extraction
