Infraocclusion of primary molars with aplasia of the permanent successor. A longitudinal study.
Infraocclusion of deciduous molars that also lack a permanent successor is found to progress more than where a successor is present, while exfoliation is severely retarded. The aplasia is the most important factor in treatment planning and timing.
