Reincluded teeth are most often deciduous molars, and permanent teeth are less frequently affected. Depending on the level of the infraocclusion, the severity of the disorder is classified as mild, moderate, or severe. The etiology of the phenomenon is not fully known. Tooth submerging can lead to serious complications, such as abnormal position of adjacent teeth, displacement of the bud of the permanent successor, shortening of the dental arch, or developmental disturbances of alveolar process. Early diagnosis of the tooth infraocclusion and regular monitoring of its progression help to avoid serious permanent sequelae. The treatment of reinclusion often involves only observation. However, in some cases, the therapeutic procedure requires interdisciplinary treatment by specialists from various fields of dentistry. This study presents current methods of diagnosis and treatment of patients with submerged teeth.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60030423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]],"date-time":"2024-03-01T06:07:53Z","timestamp":1709273273000},"page":"423","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Infraocclusion in the Primary and Permanent Dentition\u2014A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0514-4997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulina","family":"Adamska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, 7 D\u0119binki Street, 80-211 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanna","family":"Sobczak-Zagalska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, 18 Orzeszkowa Street, 80-204 Gda\u0144sk, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5112-6322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Stasiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthodontics, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Gda\u0144sk, Al.
