Tooth impaction and eruption failure present common challenges in pediatric dentistry. We report a case of a 10-year-old boy of Indian origin presenting with a missing left mandibular primary second molar and impacted first permanent molar. Radiographic examination revealed an ankylosed primary molar obstructing the path of an unerupted premolar.

Article Synopsis
- Orthodontists are increasingly interested in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (PedOSA) and are exploring treatments like maxillary expansion to prevent or cure it.
- Various clinical approaches, such as palatal and mandibular advancements, are being proposed, but they require more testing before being recommended.
- Research on animal models suggests that the impact of intermittent hypoxia (IH) on mandibular growth varies by age, highlighting the need for further studies to understand the relationship between craniofacial growth and PedOSA.

Introduction: Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder often linked to distinct craniofacial features and malocclusions. While orthodontic treatments, particularly maxillary expansion and mandibular advancement, have been suggested for managing this condition, the results remain controversial and are based on low-quality evidence. This paper aims to summarize the ongoing debates on this topic by reviewing relevant literature and highlighting the role of the orthodontist in diagnosing and managing OSA in daily clinical practice.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) is the consequence of an anatomical and/or functional reduction in upper airway size during sleep. Young patients can also be affected. TROS type 1 (TROS1 ) is most often found in young, non-obese children with no associated comorbidities, presenting with an otorhinolaryngological (ENT) obstacle, generally an enlargement of lymphoid tissue (tonsils and/or adenoids).

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing during sleep, leading to a range of adverse outcomes from reduced quality of life to serious health risks, including cardiovascular diseases and increased mortality.
Main Body: This manuscript reviews the orthodontists' essential role in the multidisciplinary healthcare team tasked with managing OSA. It particularly highlights critical orthodontic interventions, such as surgical-orthodontic maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), mandibular advancement appliances (MAAs), and rapid maxillary expansion (RME).
