Abstract

The growth and development of primary teeth in children need attention from an early age because primary teeth have an important role in mastication, and speech development and provide a place for the eruption of their permanent teeth. Malocclusion is a condition of dentofacial disharmony that can interfere with mastication, swallowing, speech, and facial alignment. Case Report: A mother and her daughter, 9-year-old, came with the complaint that her daughter's teeth look crowding. The left mandibular canine looks more backward because previously, there were primary teeth that had accumulated and had been extracted, while the two maxillary canines looked crooked. The patient and parents were educated to push the teeth with the tongue daily as often as possible. After a 4-month evaluation, the tooth was in the proper dental arch. However, fixed orthodontic treatment was required when all of the patient's teeth fully erupted to correct the patient's maxillary malocclusion. Conclusion: The growth and development of primary teeth in children need attention from an early age. Malocclusions that are found early, can be treated early to prevent the severity of the malocclusion from increasing. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.sd22.p167-176

Abstract

Anterior crossbite is a condition in which one or more of the upper front teeth are located lingually to the lower front teeth during centric occlusion. Dentistry involves close face-to-face interactions with patients, so during the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been largely suspended. Teledentistry is a solution to continue the practice of dentistry during this pandemic. This case report describes an eight-year-old insecure boy who came with a complaint that his upper left front tooth had grown behind his lower front teeth since four months ago. The patient was diagnosed with Class 1 Angle malocclusion types 1 and 3. The patient education and instructions treatment used a tongue blade via teledentistry via video call. The consideration of using this treatment is due to a not ideal condition caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This technique was done one or two hours a day. The result was twenty-one tooth malocclusion was corrected. The result indicates by the twenty-one tooth position which has passed the mandibular incisor to the labial direction. The conclusion suggests that early treatment, in this case, is necessary to modify the growth direction to prevent further malocclusion. It is also concluded that Anterior crossbite treatment via teledentistry using a tongue blade gives significant results. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v1n3.267-274
