Abstract
This case describes dental management of a 15 years old female patient who has moderate hypodontia, missing four permanent teeth (13, 12, 23, 45). The treatment modality included orthodontic close of all spaces except space for missing 12, which was idealized to be replaced with a resin retained bridge. Tooth 22 is diminutive; microdontia, and the space was idealized for composite build-up. Interdisciplinary work between Orthodontic and Pediatric Dentistry Departments is very important to achieve optimum outcome for the patient.
