The tooth migrates into the socket of the deciduous tooth on the lingual side. It increases the pressure on the deciduous tooth by increased growth. Resorption of the deciduous tooth root leads to its loosening. The deciduous tooth then sheds and the permanent tooth replaces it. Premature loss of the deciduous tooth leads to disorganised (non-occluding) permanent teeth. | The tooth migrates into the socket of the deciduous tooth on the lingual side.
