[Dento-periodontal interferences in extended partial anodontia].

In this paper, part of a mixed longitudinal study on the growth and development phenomena in extended partial anodontia, the author, based on the data of the thorough clinical and paraclinical investigations carried out, underlines the implications of this isolated dental anomaly on temporary or impacted permanent teeth as well as on their periodontal support. Thus, 48 patients aged between 4.6 and 30.5 years with various clinical forms of extended partial anodontia were investigated. It resulted that the severity of the dental-periodontal involvement is strongly correlated with the etiopathogenic and clinical features and severity of the anomaly under study.
