Abstract:
Dental agenesis is the most common developmental aberration in humans, and it is typically linked with a variety of other oral anomalies. Oligodontia, anodontia, and hypodontia are the words used in the literature to denote missing teeth. Although tooth agenesis is not a serious public health problem, it can cause speech, masticatory, aesthetic, and functional problems. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to establish comprehensive treatment planning, counselling sessions, and frequent follow-ups, to obtain stable, functional, and psychological rehabilitation, which will eventually improves the patient's quality of life. In this case study, after considering the young age and growth of the patient and also his financial status, a conservative approach to rehabilitate the non-syndromic oligodontia patient with a 12-year follow-up and fabrication of maxillary overlay denture and mandibular conventional complete denture has been discussed.
