Abstract
Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare developmental dental anomaly with an unknown etiology. It is more often seen in
girls than boys. Treatment of RO depends on the individual case. The aims of treatment should include aiding mastication and
speech, improving aesthetics, reducing the psychological impact of the anomaly, allowing normal jaw growth and development,
and if possible protection of any erupted teeth which are affected. We present a rare case of RO together with the treatment
modality undertaken
