Abstract
An unusual case of odontodysplasia is presented, involving both primar y and permanent dentition, with oligodontia of permanent teeth and hyp oplasia, taurodontism and incomplete eruption of a first permanent mol ar. In order to improve the patient's appearance, occlusion and functi on, his intra- and inter-arch relationships were altered. To accomplis h this, a multidisciplinary treatment approach was adopted, involving restorative and prosthetic treatments by a pediatric dentist, accompan ied by periodontal surgery, endodontics and orthodontics.
