    Author: Stevenson B, Patel D, Ricketts D, Cord A.
    Journal: Dent Update; 2013 Jun; 40(5):354-6, 358-60. PubMed ID: 23909228.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Congenitally absent teeth may pose aesthetic and functional problems for patients. Treatment is often complex and involves a multidisciplinary team. Using retrospective data, the patient's pathway, when a combined orthodontic-restorative dentistry approach was used, will be summarized. It was found that the number of teeth missing ranged from 1 to 8 with a mean of 3.4 per patient. Combined treatment was found to take on average around 38 months, using over 20 appointments. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Hypodontia is a relatively common condition. It is important that practitioners and patients are aware of the length of time treatment can take.
