Managing Functional and Aesthetic Rehabilitation Non–Syndromic Oligodontia with Removable Prosthetics

Background: Oligodontia is defined as a congenital tooth agenesis with the absence of six or more permanent teeth. Oligodontia is a developmental issue during the initial formation and growth stages of teeth that can cause numerical abnormalities. Although it was linked to systemic disorders, it can also be linked to non-syndromic oligodontia. To restore aesthetic, functional, and psychosocial aspects, one of the treatments given to patients with oligodontia is a removable partial denture. Case: An 11-year-old male patient came to the Teeth and Mouth Dentistry Hospital Universitas Airlangga accompanied by his mother and grandmother. The patient and his family complained that several of his permanent teeth had not yet erupted. The patient also complained that some of his primary teeth had not yet shed. From radiographic findings, there is agenesis of teeth 14, 15, 24, 25, 34, 35, 44, 45. Management: The treatment options offered to patients’ removable partial denture to replace missing teeth. Conclusions: Removable partial dentures can be used as a treatment option for patients with suspected non-syndromic oligodontia.
