“…3 The dentist likely wants to understand the orthodontic treatment objectives and plan, especially if the patient requires extractions, the restoration of a malformed tooth, or the replacement of a missing tooth. Despite some attempts to systematically determine which teeth should be extracted during extraction therapy 5,6 and the widespread understanding of the available treatment options to restore or replace deformed or missing teeth, [7][8][9][10][11][12] it is important that both the orthodontist and general dentist agree on the ultimate treatment goal so each provider can facilitate its attainment.…”

Objective: To evaluate similarities and differences in orthodontists' and general dentists' perceptions regarding their interdisciplinary communication. Materials and Methods: Orthodontists (N 5 137) and general dentists (N 5 144) throughout the United States responded to an invitation to participate in a Web-based and mailed survey, respectively. Results: The results indicated that orthodontists communicated with general dentists using the type of media general dentists preferred to use. As treatment complexity increased, orthodontists shifted from one-way forms of communication (letters) to two-way forms of communication (phone calls; P , .05). Both orthodontists and general dentists reported that orthodontists' communication regarding white spot lesions was inadequate. When treating patients with missing or malformed teeth, orthodontists reported that they sought input from the general dentists at a higher rate than the general dentists reported (P , .005). Conclusions: Orthodontists' and general dentists' perceptions of how often specific types of media were used for interdisciplinary communication were generally similar. They differed, however, with regard to how adequately orthodontists communicated with general dentists and how often orthodontists sought input from general dentists. The methods and extent of communication between orthodontists and general dentists need to be determined on a patientby-patient basis. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:1042-1050

“…Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis is the most common congenitally missing permanent tooth condition in the maxillary anterior region, and is the third most common developmentally absent tooth after third molars and lower second premolars, representing approximately 20% of all dental anomalies [10], [11]. The missing upper lateral incisor has been found to be more prevalent in females and bilateral cases are more frequently reported than unilateral [10].…”

“…Largely, dental agenesis has been attributed to genetic factors, but they may also be caused by environmental factors [10]. Additionally, can occur in a number of conditions such as ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip and palate, Down's Syndrome, Incontinentia pigmenti and following early irradiation [11].…”

Congenitally missing teeth, the most common dental anomaly, refers to teeth whose germ did not develop sufficiently to allow the differentiation of the dental tissues. This study aimed to determine the importance of genetic investigations on oral health-related quality of life in children with congenitally missing lateral incisors. We are presenting a genetic study performed by the A.S. Division of Medical Genetics, in Bucharest, Romania, in the case of a patient (16-year-old boy) presenting bilateral maxillary lateral incisor agenesis in the permanent dentition, a hereditary, non-syndromic familial hypodontia in three successive generations, which suggest an autosomal dominant inheritance, combined with aplasia of maxillary third molars. The oral visual examination and the radiological exam of the patient were completed with the oral photographic examination, the family historyinvestigation, the pedigree, and the analysis of the studied family’s genealogical tree, after acquiring the signed informed consent of the patient. The genetic investigations of the congenitally missing lateral incisors, allow the calculation of the anomaly recurrence risk amongst offspring, and the direct and specialized monitoring of affected families, in order to limit the potential complications.

“…Patients with hypodontia suffer from numerous functional and esthetic problems. Therefore, their treatment must be complex and usually involves orthodontic, implantoprosthetic, logopedic, and psychological therapies [9]. Treatment of hypodontia should lead to restoration of missing teeth, proper occlusion and arti culation as well as to improvement in esthetics, pronunciation, and mental status of the patient.…”

Congenital absence of maxillary tooth germs in adults is a serious problem. Basic treatment includes orthodontic and/or implantoprosthetic procedures. The aim of the study is to present possible therapeutic procedures in the treatment of hypodontia of maxillary teeth in complex anatomical and biological conditions in adult patients. The study presents two cases of orthodontic treatment and implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary hypodontia. In the first case, after obtaining space with fixed braces, a decision was made to insert a mini implant at the site of the missing upper right lateral incisor, on which a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown was fixed. In the second case, after the expected effect of orthodontic treatment was achieved, the missing upper right lateral incisor and the missing upper right first bicuspid were restored with a PFM bridge, while the other missing upper left bicuspid was restored with a PFM bridge based on the implant. In the presented cases, effective orthodontic treatment was followed by an implant-prosthetic technique with the use of mini implants and fixed dentures, which allowed morphological, functional, and esthetic restoration of missing teeth. Both patients have had the restorations for 10 years and so far, have reported no functional or esthetic problems. The applied orthodontic treatment and implant-prosthetic rehabilitation fulfilled the esthetic and functional needs of the patients. It must be emphasized that a treatment of an adult person with hypodontia may be disturbed by unforeseen circumstances, which may require corrections of the initial treatment plan.
