Abstract
Regional Odontodyspasia is an unusual developmental disorder affecting both mesoderm and ectoderm dental components and affecting a localized dentition area. The estimated prevalence of this disease is less than 1 in 1000,000 in the general population. It affects both the primary and permanent dentition in either the maxillary, mandibular, or both arches. The etiology of ROD is still unknown. This case presented classical clinical and radiographic features of regional odontodysplasia in a 9-year aged boy with an atypical involvement of both the jaws, crossing the midline. In order to fully rehabilitate a patient affected by ROD, a multidisciplinary approach is required. This case was managed conservatively with temporary prosthetic restoration to restore the function and esthetics of the patient.
