A Case Of Non-Syndromic Idiopathic Multiple Missing And Impacted Teeth In A Young Adult.

BACKGROUND: Multiple missing teeth in a young adult with no underlying cause, poses a challenge to arrive at a diagnosis and proceed with the treatment. These kinds of cases are extremely rare and a multidisciplinary approach should be tailored to provide significant results. A 27-year-old male reported to OPD of a dental department with a history of multiple missing teeth in both the upper and lower arches. There were no systemic or genetic abnormalities noted in the patient. Clinical examination revealed a missing permanent teeth and radiographic evaluation revealed un-erupted and impacted teeth. Patient was then subjected to blood investigations to exclude metabolic disorders and all the parameters were normal. The final diagnosis was idiopathic multiple impacted and missing teeth—a rare condition with no identifiable cause. The strategy for intervention includes surgical exposure, orthodontic guidance and prosthetic rehabilitation.
