The primary teeth are essential for bone development and establishment of the arches on occlusion. Thus, the congenitally absence of teeth may trigger a shift in the balance of the occlusion, promoting disharmony in the structures of the maxilla-mandibular system. However, some interventions are possible to be performed in these cases even in pediatric patients, to redirect growth, preventing growth deviations and reestablishing the aesthetic. The aim of this paper is to report the treatment of a 4-year-old child presenting congenitally absence of mandibular central and lateral incisors and maxilla lateral incisors, which consequently compromises aesthetics, occlusal function, and the development and the functional growth of the bones. The oral rehabilitation was performed with an adhesive partial denture, which was able to restore the aesthetic and the occlusal function, therefore being a viable alternative in the treatment of this patient of little age.
乳牙对于骨骼发育以及咬合时牙弓的建立至关重要。因此，先天性缺牙可能会引发咬合平衡的改变，促使上颌-下颌系统结构失调。然而，即便在儿科患者中，针对这些情况也可以采取一些干预措施，以引导生长、防止生长偏差并恢复美观。本文旨在报告一名4岁儿童的治疗情况，该儿童先天性缺失下颌中切牙和侧切牙以及上颌侧切牙，这进而影响了美观、咬合功能以及骨骼的发育和功能生长。采用粘结式局部义齿进行口腔修复，该义齿能够恢复美观和咬合功能，因此是治疗这名低龄患者的一种可行选择。
