Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 12
Abstract
Aims: Non-Syndromic congenital absence of primary dentition is rare. A female child with congenital absence of primary incisors (n=6) is presented. Presentation of Case: A 4 year-old non-syndromic female child reported with missing several teeth. Intraoral examination revealed absence of (n=6) all four Mandibular Primary Incisors and two Maxillary Primary Lateral Incisors. Radiographic examination revealed absence of corresponding permanent tooth buds. Discussion: The management of this situation is critical for the child and parent point of view due to higher number of missing teeth and early age of reporting. The hypodontia leads to speech problems with lowered self esteem and restricted diet causing malnourishment. Management options include Removable partial denture, Speech therapy, orthodontic jaw expansion, Mini implants. Conclusion: This report presents a rare case of Oligodontia in female child of 4 years old and various management options.
