The unerupted primary molars also seemed to prevent the development of the corresponding premolars. In addition the impacted primary molars were in some cases a threat to the eruption of first permanent molars. The etiology of the present primary failure of eruption seems to be inheritance, and the mode of transmission is judged to be autosomal dominant. This article briefly describes the state of the art and a pilot study of dental treatment of 19 toddlers under intravenous sedation. The treatments were performed by a dentist and an anesthetist.
Results suggest that sedation is difficult to achieve in young children.
Recommendations for further research are made. Baby bottles with popular soda pop and soft drink logos are on market shelves. A descriptive study was conducted to determine their prevalence among families and to determine whether the logos could be influencing what families put in baby bottles. The results were analyzed for significance, using the chi-square test for independence. The ethnicities and educational levels of the sample population matched the distribution of the State.
