Alternative oral rehabilitation of children with hypodontia and conical tooth shape: a clinical report.
This case report outlines an alternative oral rehabilitation treatment of a 4-year-old boy with hypodontia and conical tooth shape, which along with other characteristics led to a suspicious ectodermal dysplasia diagnosis. Diagnostic waxup and a silicone matrix formed the basis to the successful reconstruction of the anterior teeth with resin composite. Additionally, removable partial dentures were fabricated to improve esthetics and chewing ability. Positive psychologic influence of this alternative treatment on this patient is also discussed.
