Methods
For the investigation of possible causes related to vitamin and trace
element deficiencies, it was proposed that blood tests be conducted to
measure levels of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D,
calcium, and phosphate. The blood tests yielded results within the
normal range. The family’s radiological evaluation revealed that no
other family member (father, mother, and elder brother) exhibited the
same clinical condition. A systematic re-evaluation with intraoral
radiographs every six months was recommended. Furthermore, a Cone Beam
Computed Tomography (CBCT) was requested to determine the position of
both mandibular third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve.
Regarding the hypodontia, it was recommended to preserve the space of
the primary teeth and to consider implant placement once the patient
reaches adulthood.
