Treatment for predictable multidisciplinary implantology, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry

Multidisciplinary treatment has improved the clinician's ability to restore patients with partial anodontia using implant, orthodontic, and restorative disciplines for aesthetics and functionality. When considering biological principles and--in particular--patient anxiety, the use of a combination treatment approach may facilitate predictable success. When partial anodontia is evident, the primary rehabilitative options include fixed prostheses, recontouring of teeth, or placement of a single implant. This article discusses treatment planning for restoration of partial bilateral anodontia and illustrates the implant placement in association with orthodontic and restorative procedures.
