“…Hypodontia is the most common form of agenesis, corresponding to 58.7% to 88% of cases. Only about 0.1-0.3% of population have oligodontia (PUNITHAVATHY, PRIYA, INDHUMATHI, 2012;THIMMEGOWDA et al, 2015). Oligodontia is a more serious form of expression, considered rare (LIANG et al, 2016;GURUPRASAD et al, 2011).…”

“…According to Punithavathy et al (2012), bilateral agenesis is more common than unilateral and the proportion of missing teeth in the maxilla is predominantly larger than in the mandible. In this case, there was no preference between sides and dental arches, however, there was a prevalence of bilaterality-with the exception of the incisors.…”

“…Although diagnosis is performed clinically, it should be confirmed by radiographic examination (PUNITHAVATHY, PRIYA, INDHUMATHI, 2012). Clinical diagnosis can be performed by inspecting primary dentition from the age of three, and permanent teeth from ages twelve to fourteen.…”

“…Clinically, this anomaly can affect various combinations of teeth, and may be associated with other dental development anomalies. It can occur as a sporadic case or as a family trait, whether in isolation (nonsyndromic), or associated with cleft lip and palate, or with syndromes (HIREMATH, 2012;DE COSTER et al, 2009;PUNITHAVATHY, PRIYA, INDHUMATHI, 2012;ZHANG, PENG, FENG, 2015). Tooth agenesis can be classified, according to the number of missing teeth, as hypodontia, the congenital absence of one to six teeth, excluding third molars; oligodontia, more than six teeth, and anodontia, all teeth (HIREMATH, 2012;PUNITHAVATHY, PRIYA, INDHUMATHI, 2012;LIU et al, 2015;GURUPRASAD et al, 2011).…”

“…Tooth agenesis is a very common developmental anomaly (LIANG et al, 2016;HIREMATH, 2012;DE COSTER et al, 2009;RÓZSA et al, 2009;PUNITHAVATHY, PRIYA, INDHUMATHI, 2012) whereby primary and/or permanent tooth formation is impaired due to compromised odontogenesis (HIREMATH, 2012). As a result, there is a reduction in the number of teeth in the oral cavity.…”

ABSTRACT:This report aims to describe the clinical case of a 10-year-old male patient (R.C.B.C.), presenting nonsyndromic oligodontia with maternal family trait and absence of 22 permanent teeth. Clinically, the patient had prolonged retention of some primary teeth and presence of permanent maxillary left central incisor, permanent mandibular right central incisor and four first permanent molars. Radiographically, only permanent maxillary second molars and mandibular third molars were developing, whereas all other germs of permanent teeth were missing. Treatment consisted of maxillary expansion followed by moving permanent maxillary left central incisor bucco-mesially, and rehabilitation of spaces with removable denture, where the main goal was to restore function and esthetic harmony. The case has been monitored for the past six years. Nonsyndromic oligodontia is a rare condition that poses significant functional and psychosocial difficulties. Treatment usually requires a multidisciplinary approach among which pediatric dentistry and orthodontics play a major role. In view of its complexity, treatment should be initiated as early as possible to minimize future functional and aesthetic issues. Dental implants are considered as definitive treatment of cases of oligodontia, however, until the patient reached the ideal age, other treatments to ensure aesthetics and function must be performed.

Prevalence of dental agenesis in a sample of Italian orthodontic patients: an epidemiological study

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundThe congenital absence of one or more teeth is a dental anomaly that frequently occurs in the world’s population with a wide variability of distribution. The aim of this study is to assess the current prevalence of dental agenesis in the permanent dentition (excluding third molars) using a sample of Italian orthodontic patients.MethodsPanoramic radiographs of 4006 Caucasian children between 9 and 16 years of age (1865 males and 2141 females) performed over a 5-year period (from 2010 to 2015) were carefully examined to identify congenital missing teeth. A chi-square test was used to determine the difference in the prevalence of hypodontia between genders and between arches.ResultsThe prevalence of dental agenesis was 9% (9.1% for females and 8.7% for males). The most common congenitally missing teeth were the mandibular second premolars (20.3 and 18.1%) followed by the upper lateral incisors (17.8 and 17.7%) and the maxillary second premolars (7.4 and 6.3%). The absence of one tooth to five teeth was observed in 344 patients (8.6%), while 15 patients showed from six to nine missing teeth (0.4%). The analysis showed 363 cases of agenesis in the upper arch (0.64%) and 339 in the lower arch (0.60%). Unilateral (4.6%) and bilateral (4.4%) agenesis demonstrated a similar frequency. The most common bilateral missing teeth were the mandibular second premolars (1.9%) and the maxillary lateral incisors (1.6%).ConclusionsThe results of this study observed a higher prevalence of hypodontia compared to previous studies conducted on the Italian population. Thus, a detailed and careful radiographic examination was important in diagnosing one or more missing teeth. This could help plan the best possible treatments, both esthetically and functionally, for these patients.

Multidisciplinary Therapy of Extensive Oligodontia: A Case Report

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.
