“…It incorporates consultants from paediatric, restorative, orthodontics and oral and maxillofacial surgery and aims to ensure appropriate timing and management at each stage of treatment. 16 Similar combined, multidisciplinary clinics are held in other dental hospitals of the United Kingdom. 1,17,18 Hobkirk et al 18 presented demographic data for those attenders, but there appears to be a dearth of contemporary information regarding treatment planning and outcomes.…”

“…Patient related factors include age, attitude and expectations; orthodontic factors include the severity of the hypodontia, type, and degree of malocclusion; further consideration also has to be given to the occlusion and the aesthetics. 7,[18][19][20][21] There have been numerous studies investigating resin-bonded bridges (RBBs) since their introduction almost 30 years ago. 22,23 It has been shown that they can provide long term service, [24][25][26][27][28] patients are highly satisfied with the results, 29 and they are an acceptable alternative to conventional bridgework.…”

Objective To analyse the clinical performance and factors influencing the survival of resin-bonded bridgework provided for hypodontia patients with missing maxillary lateral incisors, following orthodontic treatment to open, maintain or redistribute the missing tooth space. Design A retrospective analysis of patients treated at a single centre using case notes with all patients invited for review to corroborate findings. Setting Departments of Orthodontics, Child Dental Health and Restorative Dentistry, Newcastle upon Tyne Dental Hospital and School. Subjects and methods Between 1989Between -2000 suitable hypodontia patients were identified of whom 45 had complete records. For these patients 73 resin-bonded bridges (RBBs) were provided. Following invitation, 24 patients attended for a review appointment. The survival of the RBBs, grade of operator providing treatment, duration of postorthodontic retention, the influence of design, presence of pontic contact in static and dynamic excursions, and the effect of habits were assessed. Life table, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis were carried out for the 73 RBBs with complete records. A separate analysis of the RBBs provided for patients who attended for the invited review did not show a higher failure rate than those patients who did not attend. Therefore both sets of data were combined. Results Of the 73 RBBs provided, 30 had debonded on at least one occasion (41.1%), six of these debonds were due to trauma (20%). The mean survival time of all the restorations was 59.3 months, with a median survival time of 59 months. Senior members of staff (Consultant, Senior Lecturer or Specialist Trainee) provided most restorations (n = 39) and achieved the highest mean survival of 72.6 months and median

Congenital missing of mandibular permanent incisors with retained primary incisors may jeopardize the esthetic appearance and psychological development of children, especially during the years of transition into adolescence. The retained primary teeth are necessary for the maintenance and normal development of alveolar bone, which in turn is essential for future definitive rehabilitation. In such situations, an interim restoration may be provided before any definitive treatment is given to comfort the young patient during this transition period. Interim restorations may include resin-modified additions to the existing teeth as well as more sophisticated restorations such as resin-retained bridge and removable partial dentures. However, this restoration differs for different clinical situations based on various factors such as age and patient compliance, and also consideration has to be given for the growth changes of the child. The aim of this present paper is to discuss the esthetic management of three cases with bilateral agenesis of permanent mandibular incisors and retained primary incisors with composite interim restoration.

The interdisciplinary management of hypodontia: the relationship between an interdisciplinary team and the general dental practitioner

Abstract: This paper will illustrate how the general dental practitioner can provide care for patients with hypodontia. It will demonstrate how an interdisciplinary team works for hypodontia patients and, in particular, for those with severe hypodontia.
