| Abstract: | Dental anomalies may compromise both esthetics and function in the pediatric patient. The present paper reports a rare case associated with both microdontia and severe hypodontia in a 13 year-old girl. The treatment was accomplished through the use of overdentures, which also served as a bite plane to increase vertical dimension of occlusion and as a potential space maintainer. |
