BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: Tooth agenesis is the most common congenital condition affecting the oral cavity. This condition can involve single or multiple missing teeth. Severe forms of tooth agenesis are best managed by a team of specialists, as they can be daunting for a single provider. CASE DESCRIPTION: As the goal of most patients is to replace missing teeth to improve cosmesis and function, a prosthodontist or restorative dentist plays a major role in the team's effort. Although diagnostic skills and careful planning are still the mainstay of this treatment, digital technology and modern materials can greatly facilitate implementation of the treatment plan. The authors present a case of a patient with nonsyndromic oligodontia who had a deficient occlusal vertical dimension that was treated by means of an interdisciplinary approach. The management included a combination of orthodontics, fixed and removable prosthodontics, and oral surgery. CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: When treating patients with complex congenital tooth anomalies, the prosthodontist or restoring dentist is well positioned to take the lead and orchestrate treatment of the patient.
背景与概述:牙齿缺失是最常见的口腔先天性疾病。这种情况可能涉及单个或多个牙齿缺失。严重的牙齿缺失最好由一组专家来管理,因为这对单个提供者来说是一个艰巨的挑战。
病例描述:由于大多数患者的目标是通过植入缺失的牙齿来改善美观和功能,因此,修复科医生或修复牙医在团队的努力中扮演着重要的角色。尽管诊断技能和精心规划仍然是这种治疗的主要支柱,但数字技术和现代材料可以极大地促进治疗计划的实施。作者介绍了一位患有非综合征性少牙症的患者的病例,该患者的咬合垂直距离不足,通过多学科的方法进行了治疗。治疗管理包括正畸、固定和可摘修复以及口腔外科。
结论和实际意义:在治疗患有复杂先天性牙齿异常的患者时,修复科医生或修复牙医处于领导地位,能够协调治疗患者。
