Odontological interdisciplinary treatment in a young female patient with malocclusions

Abstract

The case report of a female 23 year-old patient is presented who visited the Estomatological Service of her health area, because she was psychically affected due to the absence of a tooth and she wanted to receive a treatment that allowed her to achieve an aesthetic and functional balance. When making the intraoral examination a malocclusion was observed in the antero-superior left side, lack of proportionality between the bone and tooth, clinical absence of the left central superior incisor (21) and interincisal spaces. The careful and multidisciplinary cooperation of general comprehensive estomatology, orthodontics and prothesis rehabilitation achieved an improvement of her appearance, so that she recovered a higher self-esteem.
