MGDS case presentation: hypodontia with retained deciduous teeth.
This case, which was presented as a log diary for the 1997 Diploma of Membership in General Dental Surgery (MGDS) examination, describes the examination, treatment planning, and subsequent treatment of a patient displaying mild hypodontia with retained deciduous teeth and lateral excursions guided by group function. It incorporates preventive treatment and management of early interproximal caries, prerestorative orthodontics, reorganisation to a canine-guided occlusion using conventional and adhesive cast restorations, and management of an occasional clenching habit.
