Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question

What is the best course of treatment for a patient with regional odontodysplasia?

  1. Fixed partial denture
  2. Removable partial denture (interim until growth complete)
  3. Orthodontics alone
  4. Implants immediately
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Removable partial denture (interim until growth complete)

Affected teeth are usually extracted due to poor prognosis, but because the patient is growing, implants cannot be placed until skeletal maturity. An interim removable partial denture preserves space, function, and esthetics until the patient can receive definitive implant-supported prostheses.
