説明

We present a case of 6-year- and 10-month-old boy with an impacted primary molar. An x-ray photograph revealed the impacted mandibular right primary second molar with small hard tissue on the crown of the tooth as an obstacle. We extracted the small hard tissue and the mandibular right primary second molar. A histopathological examination of the obstacle revealed a tooth germ containing dental papilla, dentin, and enamel. The obstacle was diagnosed as the tooth germ of the mandibular right second premolar. In conclusion, the early detection of impacted primary molars is important for children's healthy growth and development. (C) 2022 The Authors.
