Abstract

This case report presents a 14-year-old patient diagnosed with non-syndromic oligodontia, characterized by the absence of multiple permanent teeth. Treatment involved the placement of zirconia crowns in the maxillary arch and a flexi denture in the mandibular arch to address aesthetic and functional concerns. The patient's condition was thoroughly assessed, considering both dental and soft tissue parameters, revealing a trend towards specific dentofacial changes associated with the increasing number of missing teeth. Psychosocial implications such as depression and impaired speech were also considered in treatment planning. A multidisciplinary approach was adopted, involving prosthetic, orthodontic, and restorative interventions. The choice of zirconia crowns and flexi denture aimed to restore aesthetics, masticatory function, and speech. This case highlights the successful management of non-syndromic oligodontia in a young patient through a comprehensive treatment strategy, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions to address the unique challenges posed by this condition.
