TRANSIENT FUNCTIONAL CROSSBITE AND LIP BITING CAUSED BY ERUPTION OF THE FIRST PERMANENT MOLAR: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Revista Científica do CRO-RJ / Rio de Janeiro Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Tooth eruption is a physiological phenomenon that typically causes local changes. Objective: The aim of this paper is to report an unusual functional crossbite and lip biting caused by eruption of the first permanent molar. Case report: A 5-year-old female sought dental treatment with the chief complaint of pain in the posterior region. At the clinical examination, swelling, accumulation of biofilm, local ulceration and severe traumatic tissue inflammation due to eruption of the first permanent lower left molar were observed. Furthermore, functional unilateral crossbite and lip biting were observed. Local hygiene associated with chlorhexidine 0.12% and topical analgesic/anti-inflammatory ointment (Triamcinolone Acetonide) were prescribed for 10 and 7 days, respectively. At 1-month follow up, resolution of local inflammation was observed as well as spontaneous correction of the crossbite and lip biting. Conclusion: Since functional occlusal deviations can be caused by tooth eruption, it is important that dentists are able to diagnose and treat this condition.
