title: ATYPICAL DISLOCATION OF IMPACTED PERMANENT TEETH IN CHILDREN. OWN EXPERIENCE.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Disturbances in forming of the hard tissue of teeth and bones can be a cause of their malformation and translocation. The impact of permanent teeth is one of them. It can occur with translocation of the tooth germ. The aim of the study was to present an atypical translocation of impacted permanent teeth in children.
  
  
  METHODS
  3.5 year clinical observation was carried out in 14 children (5 girls and 9 boys), aged between 9 and 12 years old. Patients were referred to our Department by orthodontists, paedodontists and General Dental Practitioners, due to impacted permanent teeth. According to the interview, in 8 cases children suffered from a trauma of a facial part of the skull, caused by a fall. On admitance patients were generally healthy. Basing on the clinical and radiological examination, translocation of the impacted permanent teeth has been diagnosed. In 9 cases it concerned medial maxillary incisors, whereas in remaining children--maxillary premolars. The extraction of such teeth has been performed as a part of the one day surgery procedures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the cases where basing on the radiogram, the position of the tooth allows to predict the latter translocation, the germ has to be extracted.
