Description
Full mouth rehabilitation in cases of severe hypodontia remains a clinical challenge and requires a meticulous interdisciplinary approach to obtain desirable results. Early diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment planning with good coordination and timing of the individual treatment phases are integral for successful treatment outcome. The present article reports a case of severe hypodontia in a 19-year old female patient with 11 permanent teeth missing. Treatment began with comprehensive orthodontic therapy followed by restoration of the edentulous spans by fixed dental prosthesis to achieve functional and aesthetic satisfaction of the patient.
