How should I treat my child’s lack of dental implants?

  Patient: My child’s milk teeth never fully developed. I went to the hospital and the doctor said there was no tooth germ. How should I treat it? Is there any technology in China that can implant teeth from a young age? How long is the survival period and do I need to develop a detailed treatment plan from childhood?  Jiang Ting, Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University Stomatological Hospital: Your child’s case may belong to the category of congenital missing teeth, which is a genetic disease, and sometimes there is a clear family history, which means that there may be the same condition in the family. Is there no tooth at all or is part of the tooth missing?  Professor Feng Hailan of our department specializes in this area, you can seek her advice. The treatment can only be done when you are older in the form of a transitional restoration in the form of a removable denture, and then planted teeth when you grow up.
