This presentation provides dental professionals with essential knowledge and skills for early identification and effective management of patients presenting with various dental anomalies, including multiple missing teeth, transposition, and short root anomalies. Topics include the epidemiology of these conditions, precise definitions, and their classification. The discussion extends to early orthodontic interventions, strategic space management, and a comprehensive exploration of a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment plan alternatives are considered, with insights from both successful and challenging case series outcomes. Emphasis is placed on understanding the complexities of these dental conditions and developing effective treatment strategies that optimize oral health, function, and esthetics.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Utilize clinical and radiographic assessments for accurate diagnosis and evaluation of the extent of multiple missing teeth, transposition, and short root anomaly.
Comprehend the importance of early detection and the impact of multiple congenitally missing teeth and short root anomaly on occlusion and facial growth in growing patients.
Develop effective, multidisciplinary treatment plans aligned with individual patient needs and expectations.
