Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Genetics
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • Oligodontia is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by the congenital absence of six or more teeth.
  • It is frequently associated with genetic syndromes and systemic conditions, impacting overall health.
  • Accurate diagnosis and management are crucial for patient well-being.

Observation:

  • A clinical case of a patient presenting with oligodontia, specifically 14 missing permanent teeth, is described.
  • The patient's dental and medical history was thoroughly evaluated.
  • Clinical examination revealed significant tooth agenesis.

Findings:

  • The patient exhibited agenesis of 14 permanent teeth, a substantial number indicating severe oligodontia.
  • Conservative treatment approaches were considered to preserve existing dental structures.
  • Prosthetic rehabilitation was planned to restore function and aesthetics.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to managing oligodontia.
  • Conservative and prosthetic treatments can effectively address the functional and aesthetic challenges posed by numerous missing teeth.
  • Further research into the genetic and systemic links of oligodontia is warranted.
