Abstract
Hypodontia of a maxillary central incisor is infrequent and can indicate Solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome. We report on an 11-year-old child with medical comorbidities who presented with hypodontia of a maxillary central incisor, buccally impacted maxillary canines and root resorption of the maxillary lateral incisors. She had previously had dental extractions. Joint orthodontic–paediatric–oral surgery treatment included loss of the maxillary lateral incisors and fixed orthodontic appliances to idealize space for prosthetic replacement of a central incisor. The value of multidisciplinary planning is emphasized and the dental considerations for patients with complex medical histories explored. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The reader should have an understanding of the importance of a joint orthodontic-paediatric-oral surgery approach when managing complex paediatric dental patients.
