Dental implants in growing children − No longer a myth

Abstract

The new era in dentistry is the implant. However, implant placement in the pediatric patient is still a dilemma. Congenital hypodontia, anodontia, and oligodontia are rare in children. However, a variety of treatment options are available and one of the treatment options which can be given to this pediatric patient is the implant. In this review, we focus on implants that can be given to growing children and the effectiveness of the implant in growing children.
