Either way, I do not deal with many cases with a massive number of missing permanent teeth, unless it is congenital or the occcasional trauma. I have seen a few like that though.<br /><br />Of course, you know that if you are intending on having a prosthesis of some kind any kind of permanent tooth to hang on to is sooo important.<br /><br />Every case is different, but most of the time, we suggest orthodontic treatment to get what teeth a patient has in the best possible position--then make a prosthesis (or have their general dentist make one) as may be indicated. Many times if it's missing upper laterals you can close the spaces and no prosthesis is needed. In some cases of missing bi's the primary molars can be retained for some time or can be removed, closing the existing spaces with ortho. It helps if the patient is still growing. Seems like if they are willing to do ortho, it's not that much more effort or expense to do ortho on other teeth at the same time.<br /><br />Sounds like a difficult case.<br /><br />I suppose one could save permanent rotated cuspid/incisors by doing crowns rather than ortho, but often that is not the best way... Fastest? is likely an interum flipper type orthodontic retainer with fake teeth once the ortho is completed,or while the ortho is beign done. (depends on the case) Of course I cannot really say as it's not my patient and just going on your note.Dr. Dean Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709454067987829233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-28105227107088157552009-11-30T20:05:40.085-08:002009-11-30T20:05:40.085-08:00Dr. Brandon,

I am seeing a lot of kids, and since I was at a VA last yea, where my average age was 65, I am interested in all you have to say.<br /><br />I have a question on a 16 yo, missing all perm PM and incisors on max and man. The pt has her canines but they are in #7 and #9 positions and are rotated mesially 90 degrees (same with mandibular #22 and #27 are in incisal position). The pt and parent want 6 and 11 extracted even though I have informed and educated them on why it would be best to save and orthodontically move them for her future dentition. Their CC is done what will give her a pretty smile the fastest. Pt sees extraction as the best option. <br /><br />I would love to hear your opinion and tx options. Is there anything I can do to give her a pretty smile yet retain 6 and 11. Pt is willing to under ortho and save 22 and 27 since they are not seen. <br /><br />I have seen 2 other patients non-related with this. I think it is something in the army water. : ) <br /><br />Thank you!Ridleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396342059100477310noreply@blogger.com
