Polyodontia False

Probably every person has encountered the issue of dental treatment and prosthetics in their life. In modern realities, dentistry is one of the most popular areas of medicine. Most modern people pay great attention to their health. Today we’ll talk about such a complex term as false polyodontia or hyperdontia.

False polyodontia is a situation in which a child or adult’s teeth do not fall out. This can lead to complications due to jaw displacement and developmental distortion. Its causes can be different and stem from different circumstances, for example:

1. Milk teeth “sit” loosely in the gums due to the weak load from permanent teeth. This means that part of the enamel does not wear off, but if it wears off, the teeth will move towards the permanent tooth. The reason for this phenomenon may be poor nutrition or lack of minerals in the body. 2. Congenital weak jaw or small facial skeleton. IN

**False polyodontia** (in dentistry) is the formation of additional teeth when baby teeth do not fall out in due time and continue to grow, which is the norm when their replacement with permanent ones is delayed.

**Delayed loss of baby teeth** is a normal physiological state for a child. Often, the delay in the transition of baby teeth to permanent teeth is associated precisely with metabolic disorders in the child’s body.

The main task of the dentist in this situation is to eliminate unfavorable conditions that provoke the development of pathology.

P. false polyodontia is a pathology of dental development in which baby teeth do not fall out within the prescribed period from the moment the permanent ones appear. Often such cases are associated with delayed development of the mandibular part of the facial skeleton or impaired development of the external masticatory muscles. Such problems most often occur in children aged 7 to 12 years against the background of diseases such as rickets or vitamin deficiency.

Dentists often face a problem when a child has a prolonged loss of baby teeth with a delay in the physiological period. Moreover, during a certain period, including the one that precedes eruption, no changes in the state of the dental arch are observed. There are several variations of P. false polyodontia, which can be observed both together with other anomalies and as an independent type of pathology.

In particular, it may be accompanied by a delay in the formation of molars. It is worth noting that we are talking about those cases when a baby tooth does not fall out with a certain delay, remaining in the oral cavity longer than the prescribed normative period. The period, the duration of which goes beyond the norm, may differ for each tooth, which usually falls out in a certain age period. This period may vary for different people.
