“…Therefore, the primary goal in treatment is to improve appearance, mastication and speech 1,27 . There are various treatment approaches in oligodontia cases, like space closure by orthodontic therapy, extraction of primary teeth, application of removable or fixed partial dentures, osseointegrated dental implants or combinations of these 12,16,28 .…”

“…Absence of teeth is one of these variables. An explanation for this finding may be that missing many teeth and a compromised facial profile may lead to reduced oral function and psychological distress [29]. Wearing a removable denture was also one of the variables that counted for the explained variance of depression.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess demographics, self-reported signs of ectodermal dysplasia (problems with hair, nails, skin and sweat glands), present teeth, previous dental treatment, psychological distress and QoL in individuals with oligodontia, and to explore the associations between these factors. We also aimed to compare the level of psychological distress and QoL between the study group and normative samples. Methods: Forty-seven individuals with oligodontia registered at a resource centre in Norway were included in the study. The participants completed self-administered questionnaires on demographics, ED signs, dental treatments, psychological distress and QoL (overall, health-related-and oral healthrelated QoL). Relevant statistics (independent t-test, correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regressions) were used. Results: Thirty-five participants reported ED signs. Forty-one participants had tooth replacements (nine had removable dentures). Sixteen had 10 present teeth, 13 perceived dry mouth and seven were unemployed. Persons with 10 present teeth had higher anxiety-and depression-scores than those having >10 present teeth. Unemployment, dry mouth and removable dentures indicated poor healthrelated-and oral health related QoL. Compared to a normative sample; the study group had significantly poorer mental health (MH)-related QoL, mean (SD); (51.1(8.2) versus 46.8(9.3), p < .001) and more anxiety, mean (SD); (4.5(3.1) versus 6.7(3.6), p < .001). ED signs and treatments were most important for psychological distress and MH related QoL (MCS), whereas demographic parameters were most important for the other QoL measures. Conclusions: The psychological burden of oligodontia is significant, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach by caregivers. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…2 Moreover, according to some reports in the literature, patients with oligodontia, especially those with a large number of missing teeth, may develop psychosocial problems related to their facial esthetics. [4][5][6] Dental rehabilitation usually involves a multidisciplinary approach. Recent advancements in adhesive restorative materials have allowed practitioners to provide a low-cost, simple procedure for such patients, while preserving sound dental structures and achieving great functional benefits and high rates of patient satisfaction.…”

SUMMARY Oligodontia, or the congenital absence of teeth, can occur in isolation or as part of a syndrome. This study describes a case of isolated oligodontia associated with conical teeth and large diastemas in the anterior region. The patient was treated using direct composite resin restorations. Recent improvements in adhesive restorative materials allow practitioners to offer this low-cost, conservative esthetic treatment, which has the advantage of preserving sound dental structures, to patients with missing teeth.
