Management of developmental disturbances in a 12 year-old child- A multidisciplinary approach

Abstract

Manifestation of developmental disturbances of the teeth can be in the form of variations in number, position, size, shape, eruption or structure. Such disturbances may be independent or associated with more generalised disorders. The form and structure of the teeth may be affected by local and general factors. This paper is a report of a 12-year-old girl with missing both permanent mandibular central incisors along with permanent maxillary right central incisor. Past history revealed trauma 5 years back due to fall from height. Radiographic examination revealed congenitally missing permanent mandibular left and right central incisors and dilacerated permanent maxillary right central incisor. A multidisciplinary approach has been presented for management of such cases.
