Oligopleiodontia with Impacted Permanent Canine: A Rare Entity with Multidisciplinary Management

The congenitally missing tooth is elucidated as the one not erupted in the oral cavity, and also not eye-catching in a radiograph. The absence of one to six teeth is coined as hypodontia (excluding the third molars). Oliogodontia entitlement is used when more than six teeth are absent, and anodontia is the complete absence of teeth. Supernumerary teeth, also designated as hyperdontia, may happen in twain dentitions, unilaterally or bilaterally, and in both arches. The concurrent happening of tooth agenesis (hypodontia) and supernumerary or supplemental teeth (hyperdontia) in the same sole is one of the infrequent anomalies of number in human dentition. Hypohyperdontia may affect the primary and/or permanent dentition and may necessitate in both arches. The presence of this hypohyperdontia in the same piece of an arch is an even rarer occurrence. Various terms were used to designate this environment among them oligo-pleiodontia- ‘Oligos’ meaning few; ‘Pleion’ meaning more or extra in Greek. A new implementation of Computed Tomography (CT) that bring about three-dimensional (3D) data at lower cost and engross lower doses than conventional CT found in the practice of medical radiology is termed as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). They fit into most dental practices as they do not require more space. The present case report discusses a complete multidisciplinary management case of nonsyndromic oligopleiodontia in a 14-year-old female with missing bilateral permanent central incisors and supernumerary teeth with an impacted permanent canine.
