This case report describes the multidisciplinary clinical management of a male patient, diagnosed at the age of 7, with Regional Odontodysplasia of the right maxilla. Following fixed orthodontic treatment to align his teeth, extraction of malformed teeth and subsequent bone grafting, the patient was successfully rehabilitated with implant-supported bridgework of a hybrid design to replace the teeth in the right maxillary quadrant. Clinical steps, as well as the complexities of this particular case, will be described.
CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case highlights the need for a multidisciplinary team approach to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex dental anomalies.
Article
Regional Odontodysplasia (RO) describes a rare localized developmental anomaly in which ectodermal and mesodermal tooth components are affected.1 The term ‘odontodysplasia’ was first defined by Zegarelli et al2 in 1963 to describe an uncommon dental developmental anomaly that affects both the deciduous and permanent dentitions. As the condition affects only one quadrant, Regional Odontodysplasia (RO) has become the accepted term. It tends to affect several adjacent teeth within a particular segment of the jaw and generally does not cross the midline. RO is normally located only in one arch, with the maxilla being involved twice as often as the mandible, and more frequently presents in the anterior region.3,4-5 When primary teeth are affected, the permanent dentition is also usually affected.6
