Abstract
Dental reinclusion, also referred to as ankylosis, retention, or infra occlusion, is a clinical condition in which a fully erupted tooth gradually moves away from the occlusal plane. The prevalence of primary molar reinclusion ranges from 1.3% to 38.5% in the population, with an unclear etiology. Reinclusion can lead to various complications, including delayed exfoliation of the primary tooth, disruption of occlusion, and improper eruption of the succeeding permanent tooth. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent these complications. In this report, we present an unusual case of severe infraocclusion of the primary maxillary right first molar in a 10-year-old child.
