An 8yo with all primary molars present and cusp-to-cusp relationship on permanent M1s should be...

Treated immediately
Observed
Referred to a specialist
Given orthodontic treatment

The correct answer is: Observed

This means that the dentist should not immediately treat the child's teeth, refer them to a specialist, or give them orthodontic treatment. This is because the child is still young and their molars are still developing, so it is normal for them to have cusp-to-cusp relationship and all primary molars present. The child's teeth should be observed for further development and growth before any treatment is considered.
