  • Title: Restorative dentistry clinical decision-making for hypodontia: managing missing premolar teeth.
    Author: Orloff C, Rana S, Bassi GS, Ashley MP, I Bomfim D.
    Journal: Br Dent J; 2023 Oct; 235(7):483-488. PubMed ID: 37828180.
    Abstract:
    Hypodontia is a relatively common clinical condition and the second premolar tooth is the most common tooth that fails to develop (excluding third molars). For some patients, no treatment is required, as there is little, if any, consequence of the condition. For other patients, the missing teeth are part of a more complex dental presentation, requiring specialist dental management. This paper describes the clinical decision-making process and explores the options for managing this presentation of hypodontia.
