Summary
This study presents a fixed interim prosthesis for a teen with congenital anodontia (tooth agenesis), restoring function and esthetics. The treatment improved chewing, speech, appearance, and self-confidence, offering a minimally invasive solution.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Genetics
Background:
- Congenital absence of permanent teeth (anodontia) is rare.
- Isolated anodontia with retained deciduous teeth is exceptionally uncommon.
- Nonsyndromic familial anodontia presents unique management challenges.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
