The diagnosis of the hypodontia should be performed as early as possible, thus alternative treatment modalities can be planned and performed in a multidisciplinary team approach, in order to establish an aesthetic and functional dentition in the future.

The results of this study suggest that a preventive educational programme should be instituted, directed at parents and teachers at nursery schools, in order to inform them about what to do in dental trauma cases and the importance of immediate attendance for dental care.
