Dent Clin North Am. 2012 Jan;56(1):183-207, ix. doi: 10.1016/j.cden.2011.09.002.

Abstract

Dentoalveolar surgery in children presents general dentists with unique challenges not encountered in adults. The long-term effects that treatments have on these children must always be taken into consideration. A clear understanding of the growth and development of pediatric patients is necessary to correctly identify dental abnormalities.
