  • Title: The role of the general dental practitioner in the management of the hypodontia patient.
    Author: Rana S, Orloff C, I Bomfim D, P Ashley M, Bassi GS.
    Journal: Br Dent J; 2023 Oct; 235(7):522-524. PubMed ID: 37828194.
    Abstract:
    The general dental practitioner (GDP) is usually the first person to suspect that a young patient is affected by hypodontia. The condition occurs rarely in the primary dentition but is relatively common in the permanent dentition. Between the ages of 7 and 12 years, failure of a permanent tooth to erupt as expected will lead the GDP to initiate and then contribute to the ideal management of the patient's condition. This ranges from reassurance and preventive measures to providing aspects of treatment in a long-term management plan, alongside a multidisciplinary specialist team and thereafter, delivery of life-long dental care.
