    Abstract:
    Congenital hypodontia may cause serious emotional and physical problems which can become particularly grave during adolescence. This article highlights the importance of early diagnosis and the prevention of the progress of the state, and discusses a variety of definitive treatment plans. The aim of restorative dentistry is to restore function, improve appearance and prevent complications caused by hypodontia. When developing a treatment plan, first the severity of hypodontia, the number of missing teeth, and some other factors have to be considered. This can be followed by the treatment, which involves an interdisciplinary dental team.
