Biomodelling partial anodontia case for analysis and surgical implant rehabilitation

Partial Anodontia, also called Hypondontia or Oligodontia is a hereditary disorder occurring as a consequence of disturbances in the ectoderm of the developing embryo and manifests as a lack of development of all or most primary and/or permanent dentition, with or without a cleft lip and palate. In this case, patient is a young adult Caucasian male that suffer from Partial Anodontia and that, after clinical examination, presented the existence of 13th, 16th, 22th, 23th and 27th, with a 26th included tooth in maxilla and the presence of 36th and 46th teeth in mandible. Biomodelling - a technique that join medical imaging with additive manufacturing in order to obtain physical models will be used, and applied to mandible situation, with the manufacturing under 3DP® technique of the needed total or partial models, not only to better understand patient's case and bone condition but also to plan surgical procedures over mandible by defining implants placement and any bone reconfiguration. © 2014 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
