Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Dental Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital tooth agenesis, specifically oligodontia, affects the primary dentition infrequently.
  • Understanding the etiology and management of missing primary teeth is crucial for long-term dental health.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a 3-year-old male of Asian origin presented with multiple missing primary teeth.
  • The patient exhibited a significant number of missing primary teeth (n=9).

Findings:

  • The case highlights the rarity of oligodontia in the primary dentition.
  • This presentation underscores the need for early diagnosis and intervention in cases of congenital tooth agenesis.

Implications:

  • Early identification of oligodontia in primary teeth is essential for timely management.
