| Summary: | ABSTRACT Congenital Tooth Agenesis or Hypodontia is one of the most common developmental anomaly of the human dentition, presents itself with one or more missing teeth. It is a polygenetic disorder that can occur either in isolation or as a co-finding in many syndromes. The Clinical features, diagnostic characteristics and management strategies all depend on the severity of the condition, presence or absence of associated syndromes and available resources. However, a multidisciplinary team approach and early young age assessment can be the key to success in these complicated scenarios. This report states the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of a non syndromic hypodontia patient utilizing a conventional fixed partial denture prosthesis. Keywords |
