Implant-retained overdentures for young children with severe oligodontia: a series of four cases.
[oligodontia]
The
treatment
need
is
high
in
children
with
severe
oligodontia
and
anodontia
,
because
they
often
have
functional
and
esthetic
problems
owing
to
missing
teeth
.
Because
the
intraforaminal
region
barely
grows
after
eruption
of
the
permanent
mandibular
incisors
,
dental
implant
treatment
should
be
considered
a
treatment
option
for
these
children
.
The
purpose
of
our
study
was
to
assess
the
treatment
outcomes
regarding
satisfaction
and
the
care
and
aftercare
of
implant-retained
mandibular
overdentures
in
a
series
of
4
young
children
without
erupted
mandibular
teeth
from
either
severe
oligodontia
(
n
=
3
)
or
anodontia
(
n
=
1
)
.
Four
children
without
erupted
mandibular
teeth
,
aged
6
to
13
years
,
were
provided
with
an
implant-retained
overdenture
on
2
implants
.
The
surgical
and
prosthetic
care
and
aftercare
were
scored
by
the
clinicians
.
Also
,
the
patients
and
their
parents
were
queried
about
how
satisfied
they
were
with
the
overdenture
.
The
median
follow-up
of
the
patients
was
5
.
2
years
(
range
3
.
2
to
8
.
4
)
.
No
implants
were
lost
,
no
cases
of
peri-implantitis
occurred
,
and
the
need
for
treatment
and
aftercare
was
low
.
Patient
and
parent
satisfaction
with
this
treatment
was
high
.
A
2
-
implant
,
retained
overdenture
in
children
with
no
erupted
mandibular
teeth
is
a
safe
treatment
modality
when
appropriate
treatment
and
aftercare
can
be
provided
.
