The purpose of this article is to describe a team approach to treatment of hypodontia in adolescent dentition. A case report of hypodontia with a microdontic lateral incisor in a Class I malocclusion illustrates the principles of case management. Multidisciplinary consultation during treatment planning and coordination and appropriate timing of subsequent interdisciplinary dental care enables the clinician to provide the optimum care. The scope of orthodontic and restorative management depends on the severity of the hypodontia.
Hypodontia or missing teeth can result in crookedness, spaces between teeth and small or malformed teeth. Patients can also present with a reduced amount of jawbone.This is an information resource on the oral condition known as hypodontia (also known as anodontia or oligodontia). There is also useful information for dentists on current research for treatment.
