Congenital oligodontia or true partial anodontia is a developmental disturbance related to the number of teeth. It is a hereditary phenomenon passed through generations by an autosomal dominant pattern. Patients with such a disorder often face severe problems in esthetics, phonetic and mastication. Here is a case report of partial anodontia with agenesis of 10 teeth, which has been treated with the combination of maxillary fixed partial denture and Mandibular cast partial denture.

Abstract


Congenital oligodontia or true partial anodontia is a developmental disturbance related to the number of teeth. It is a hereditary phenomenon passed through generations by an autosomal dominant pattern. Patients with such a disorder often face severe problems in esthetics, phonetic and mastication. Here is a case report of partial anodontia with agenesis of 10 teeth, which has been treated with the combination of maxillary fixed partial denture and Mandibular cast partial denture.
