Dental anomalies may compromise both esthetics and function in the pediatric patient. The present paper reports a rare case associated with both microdontia and severe hypodontia in a 13 year-old girl. The treatment was accomplished through the use of overdentures, which also served as a bite plane to increase vertical dimension of occlusion and as a potential space maintainer.
牙齿异常可能会影响小儿患者的美观和功能。本文报道了一例罕见病例，一名13岁女孩同时患有小牙畸形和严重缺牙症。治疗通过使用覆盖义齿完成，覆盖义齿还起到咬合平面的作用以增加咬合垂直距离，并作为潜在的间隙保持器。
