Missing permanent teeth and awkward smile
Treatment Overview
A 13-year-old male patient presented with oligodontia (congenitally missing permanent teeth) and retained deciduous (milk) teeth. Only two permanent lower molars were present. Treatment involved root canal therapy for all existing teeth followed by telescopic removable metallic PFM prosthesis for complete rehabilitation.
Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Diagnosis
Comprehensive oral examination and OPG X-ray revealed oligodontia with only two permanent lower molars present. Patient had multiple retained deciduous teeth with aesthetic and functional concerns.
Root Canal Treatment
Endodontic treatment performed on all remaining deciduous teeth to ensure they could serve as stable abutments for telescopic prosthesis.
Telescopic Coping Fabrication
Custom telescopic copings were designed and fabricated to fit over prepared teeth, providing retention and support for the removable prosthesis.
Telescopic Prosthesis Delivery
Upper and lower telescopic removable metallic PFM prosthesis was carefully fitted, adjusted, and delivered to restore complete dental function and aesthetics.
