We had a partial denture fitted for our four year old that lost a primary incisor in an accident - I figure the dentist would fit them if they weren’t safe, but wanted to do some independent reading on the topic

Are there any white papers on the topic? I notice there appears to be alveolar recession where the gum line is raised where the tooth was lost and assume this is due to the lack of blood supply in the area and I hope the bone will regrow when the permanent tooth comes in but I want to check it’s not being made worst by the pedi partial

Anyone has any experience of this ?
