Multidisciplinary therapy of extensive oligodontia: a case report.
[oligodontia]
Oligodontia
is
a
rare
congenital
disorder
consisting
in
the
absence
of
six
or
more
teeth
.
This
case
report
describes
a
multidisciplinary
treatment
approach
for
a
12
-
year
-old
male
with
absence
of
11
permanent
teeth
.
Prior
to
any
procedure
,
all
primary
teeth
were
scheduled
for
extraction
due
to
poor
crown-
to
-root
ratio
.
The
treatment
plan
comprised
two
phases
:
1
.
orthodontic
and
speech
therapy
aimed
at
overbite
and
anterior
open
bite
adjustment
,
as
well
as
tongue
position
improvement
;
and
2
.
prosthetic
treatment
by
insertion
of
removable
temporary
partial
dentures
.
The
multidisciplinary
treatment
involving
orthodontics
,
speech
and
prosthetic
therapies
have
reestablished
the
masticatory
function
and
aesthetics
,
allowing
the
patient
to
achieve
greater
self-esteem
and
better
social
acceptance
.
