Patient's question:
Baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth at the age of 6-7. Congenital tooth agenesis, can someone help me explain this?Doctor's answer:
Generally, baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth at the age of 6-7. This child's condition is caused by congenital absence of permanent teeth germs. Currently, restoration can only be achieved after other permanent teeth have fully erupted, such as implant restoration, which is generally completed after the age of 18. At present, an interdental space maintainer can be installed to prevent irregularity in the dental arch caused by missing teeth. This is the answer to the question "What should be done about congenital tooth agenesis?" Hope it helps you.
