A 10-year-old boy with class II oligodontia treated with buccal fixed appliances and agenesis space closure of the four second premolars: Case report No. 230075 – Titularisation Collège Européen Orthodontie (CEO), European College of Orthodontics

Abstract

The patient presented in this case report is a 10-year-old boy with hyperdivergent skeletal Class II associated with familial genetic agenesis of the second premolars. The treatment plan chosen was to close the spaces of agenesis using a bimaxillary appliance fixed buccally. The advantages and disadvantages of this treatment option were discussed. The result was stable and made it possible to avoid an implant-prosthetic solution, which would undoubtedly have been more restrictive over time.
