The annual Kings College Hospital Study Day will take place on the 4th of May 2016 at the Weston Education Centre, Denmark Hill. The program will be delivered by staff of Kings who are directly involved in management of both adolescent and adult patients on a number of multidisciplinary clinics. Subject covered will include management of the developing dentition, orthodontic considerations, the provision of adhesive dentistry such as composite masking and resin bonded bridges in addition to the placement of implants.
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.
