Incidence of carious pathology of the permanent primary molar

Abstract

From a dental point of view, the man carries out his masticatory activity during all types of dentition: temporary, mixed and permanent. Temporary dentition fulfills multiple important roles for the period in which it is present in the oral cavity: biological, psycho-social, general somatic and psychic development of the child, conservation of space for the normal eruption of permanent teeth. Also, due to the exercise of the functions of the temporary teeth, a lot of stimuls are produced that lead to the modeling and development of the structures of the dento-maxillary apparatus.
