    Summary

    Dental agenesis can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Early intervention with repositioning splints and subsequent dental correction is crucial for restoring function and preparing for prosthetic reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Prosthodontics

    Background:

    • Dental agenesis, the congenital absence of permanent teeth, can disrupt normal occlusion and jaw development.
    • This disruption can lead to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, affecting joint mechanics and patient comfort.

    Observation:

    • The study investigates the pathogenetic factors linking permanent tooth agenesis to TMJ dysfunction.
    • Identifying and maintaining a therapeutic jaw position is critical in managing these cases.

    Findings:

    • Repositioning splints are essential for establishing and maintaining the correct therapeutic jaw position.
    • Following splint therapy, orthodontic correction of tooth position and relationships is necessary.

    Implications:

    • Proper management of TMJ dysfunction secondary to dental agenesis requires a phased approach.
    • This approach aims to restore occlusal harmony and create space for prosthetic rehabilitation, improving overall oral health and function.
