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 develop-ment, and if possible protection of any erupted teeth which are affected. We present a rare case of RO together with the treat-ment modality undertaken
