There are three main reasons for over-retained permanent teeth

1. Absence of permanent tooth which was supposed to replace the milk tooth.
2. Change in the eruption path of the permanent tooth. This may lead to either non-eruption of permanent tooth or eruption of permanent tooth at an abnormal position.
3. Presence of some pathology eg. cyst, tumor, odontoma etc. 

Seek a dental opinion if the milk teeth have stayed longer.[/ultimate_heading][ultimate_spacer height=”15″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Referece”]evaluation of factors associated with persistent primary teeth | European Journal of Orthodontics | Oxford Academic[/vc_toggle][/vc_column][/vc_row]
