ABSTRACT

Deciduous teeth are present in the oral cavity for limited period of time, normally they exfoliate and the successor teeth attain their respective position in the oral cavity. Two-third of root is resorbed physiologically and then it exfoliates. But in the tooth without permanent successor this process is bit slower as compared to the teeth with permanent successor. Therefore, execution of treatment planning differs in both the cases. This case report explains one of the treatment plan related to the management of missing permanent successor.

Keywords: missing permanent successor, over-retained teeth, physiological resorption, gutta percha obturation
