Explore the stages of infant oral care in this video, focusing on the predentate phase, commonly referred to as gum pads. Beginning with a clinic encounter, we delve into occlusion development, detailing the characteristics of upper and lower gum pads. Learn about the self-correcting anomalies associated with this stage, including the infantile open bite and wider upper arch efficiency. The discussion extends to clinical significance, touching upon mandible retrognathia and complications related to natal and neonatal teeth. Uncover the environmental factors influencing neonatal teeth eruption and the importance of oral care for gum pads.
