Thorough evaluation, proper counselling and careful treatment planning employing a multidisciplinary approach are keys to a successful, long-term management. This report describes the management of a patient with oligodontia including ten permanent teeth and six primary teeth. Adhesive techniques and new restorative techniques represent current options in the management of the dental rehabilitation of young patients with Oligodontia. Restorative treatment was provided for the psychosocial comfort of the young patient in this case. Keywords: Oligodontia, hypodontia, ectodermal dysplasia. INTRODUCTION Congenitally missing teeth can occur in two variations, hypodontia and oligodontia. Hypodontia is characterized by the absence of six or fewer permanent teeth, while oligodontia is characterized by the absence of more than six permanent teeth. Congenital lack of one or more teeth, excluding the third molars is relatively common, but oligodontia (six or more missing teeth) is rarer and may be associated with a syndrome such as ectodermal dysplasia. Although, both environmental and genetic factors can cause failure of tooth development, in the majority of cases, hypodontia has genetic bases. An isolated hypodontia/Oligodontia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetration and variable expression1. Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) is a hereditary congenital disease that effects several ectodermal structures. Although the existence of an autosomal recessive inheritance is reported , the disease is usually transmitted as an X - linked recessive trait . ED patients require dental treatment primarily because of other dental needs and not always for good appearance.2-5HED shows clinical manifestations of hypodontia, hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis and a highly characteristic facial physiognomy, usually referred to as “fairy-like appearance”.6 The purpose of this article is to present a female patient with ED associated with numerous missing primary and permanent teeth including all permanent canines. 75 Dr kalpna chaudhry IJRID Volume 4 Issue 4 Jul.-Aug.2014 Dr kalpna chaudhry IJRID Volume 4 Issue 4 Jul.-Aug.2014 Case Report A 6½-year-old female child was brought to the Department of Pedodontics, seema Dental College, rishikesh,Uttaranchal ,with chief complaint of decayed teeth and missing teeth in lower front region. The patient was elder of the two siblings born of a non-consanguineous marriage at full term by normal delivery. Her parents and brother appeared normal. Family history did not reveal any similar complaint from her immediate or distant relatives. The Patient was moderately built; she was a class one student in a nearby rural school. Extra oral examination revealed wet face appearance and glaucoma in right eye as the main findings (Fig.1).Oral and radiographic examination showed mixed dentition with numerous carious teeth and missing mandibular primary anterior teeth. She had no systemic disorders and also no medicine intake regularly. She was on treatment for glaucoma by her paediatrician. No contributory family history and similar dental manifestations were found from her parents. Radiographic examination showed, except for the third molars, 18 permanent teeth were in place, and 10 permanent teeth were absent (Fig.2). Missing teeth were 12, 13, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, numbers teeth. Teeth numbered 71, 72, 73,81,82,83 were also congenitally missing. Consultation was established with the Paediatrician for the diagnosis of the case. The case was described as Autosomal Recessive, Hydrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia. Intraoral examination revealed multiple carious deciduous teeth including 53, 54, and 62, 63, 64, 74, 75, 84, 85, (Fig-3, 5,7). The oral hygiene was poor. Treatment Planning: After the permission was received from the parents for the presentation of the child, full history with clinical and radiological examination were obtained and primary carious molar teeth were treated with glass ionomer restorations. Pulpally involved teeth i.e. 53, 64, 84 were treated with endodontic treatment. 64, 84 were obturated with resorbable paste Metapex as the succedaneous teeth were present beneath them, whereas in 53 MTA was used at the apex and later the tooth was obturated with nonresorbable material (gutta percha). 84 was later restored with stainless steel crown.(Fig-4,6,8) Lastly the removable partial denture was given to replace missing teeth till the completion of the eruption of the remaining permanent teeth which would be replaced by fixed prosthesis or implant later on (Fig -8). Discussion : A tooth is defined to be congenitally missing if it has not erupted in the oral cavity and is not visible in a radiography.7In this case the absence of ten permanent teeth together with six deciduous was observed.HED and oligodontia, though not a life-threatening condition, can have great impact on the physical, intellectual and psychological maturation of the patient. In general hypodontia is the term most frequently used when describing the phenomenon of congenitally missing teeth.8 Hypodontia is an anomaly that may result in dental malpositioning, periodontal damage, lack of development of maxillary and mandibular bone height and has 76 Dr kalpna chaudhry IJRID Volume 4 Issue 4 Jul.-Aug.2014 Dr kalpna chaudhry IJRID Volume 4 Issue 4 Jul.-Aug.2014 significant psychological, aesthetic and functional consequences.9Good communication between health professionals’ interdisciplinary team (Paediatric Dentists, Orthodontists and Prosthodontists) and also with patient/parents/care-takers is crucial for successful outcome for these young patients. Many studies have reported that the prevalence of congenital absence of permanent teeth varies from 3% to 11% among European and Asian populations and it reaches 20% if the third molars are considered. The prevalence in primary dentition is lower, ranging between 0.5% and 0.9%.10,11Although tooth agenesis is occasionally caused by environmental factors, in the majority of cases hypodontia has a genetic basis. Developing teeth are affected by environmental factors such as multiagent chemotherapy, radiation therapy, fractures, surgical procedures on the jaws, extraction of the preceding primary teeth, and lack of necessary space imposed by malformed jaws12. Patients with Oligodontia as a part of syndrome may have abnormalities in other parts the body, such as the skin, ears, eyes, and skeleton.12Treatment of patients with Oligodontia generally requires a multidisciplinary approach. Restoration with a removable partial denture, conventional fixed partial denture, an implant retained prosthesis and adhesive restorative techniques, or a combination of these therapies are the treatment options.13 However, the expectation s for treatment by the patient and his parents was to achieve an esthetical result at a low cost; a long-term treatment plan was rejected. In conclusion, missing teeth, abnormal occlusions or altered facial appearance may cause some patients psychological distress. If the extent of hypodontia is mild, the associated changes may likewise be slight and manageable by orthodontists. In more severe cases restorative implants and prosthetic procedures can be undertaken. Thus, the concept of early diagnosis of these patients becomes more important. When a case of tooth agenesis is seen, the presence of the anomaly should be recorded with a complete clinical history including panoramic radiograms and models, for proper phenotype characterization prior to any surgical or orthodontic treatment. Conclusions: Congenital lack of one or more teeth, excluding the third molars is relatively common, but oligodontia (six or more missing teeth) is rarer and may be associated with a syndrome such as ectodermal dysplasia. Although, both environmental and genetic factors can cause failure of tooth development, in the majority of cases, hypodontia has genetic bases. An isolated hypodontia/oligodontia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetration and variable expression. Careful diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment approach can be performed as early as possible in order to prevent aesthetic and functional problems in dentition. References: 1.
