Treatment of Non Syndromic Hypodontia Associated with Generalized Microdontia with Fiber Reinforced Resin Composite Bridges

Genetic and environmental factors are the causes of dental anomalies during tooth morphogenesis. Microdontia may appear as three types: single tooth, multiple teeth in both jaws, and true generalized microdontia (TGM), in which all teeth are smaller. Congenitally missing teeth is referred as hypodontia. This condition might be combined with specific syndromes. This paper proposes that generalized microdontia, without any apparent systemic association, can be treated by direct composite restorations.
