Congenital oligodontia or true partial anodontia is a developmental disturbance related to the number of teeth. It is a hereditary phenomenon passed through generations by an autosomal dominant pattern. Patients with such a disorder often face severe problems in esthetics, phonetic and mastication. Here is a case report of partial anodontia with agenesis of 10 teeth, which has been treated with the combination of maxillary fixed partial denture and Mandibular cast partial denture.
