Unlabelled: Congenitally absent teeth may pose aesthetic and functional problems for patients. Treatment is often complex and involves a multidisciplinary team. Using retrospective data, the patient's pathway, when a combined orthodontic-restorative dentistry approach was used, will be summarized. It was found that the number of teeth missing ranged from 1 to 8 with a mean of 3.4 per patient. Combined treatment was found to take on average around 38 months, using over 20 appointments.
Clinical Relevance: Hypodontia is a relatively common condition. It is important that practitioners and patients are aware of the length of time treatment can take.

Objectives: Awareness of the interface between restorative and orthodontic treatments is essential for dentists to facilitate a meaningful interdisciplinary approach by integrating the knowledge and skills of different dental disciplines into patients' treatment to enhance outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate General Dental Practitioners' (GDPs) awareness of the orthodontic-restorative interface.
Methods: This was a mixed-method study involving the collection of a) quantitative data via a bespoke online questionnaire and b) qualitative data through open questions.

Objective: Communication between the orthodontist and the restorative dentist has always been difficult due to the inability of the orthodontist to achieve the desired orthodontic goals with just words in a referral note.
Clinical Considerations: A better method of communication is for the restorative dentist to create the ideal tooth anatomy either before or during orthodontic treatment to direct the orthodontic tooth movement.
Conclusion: It is the purpose of this article to present a technique, which makes the pre-restorative orthodontic treatment both more accurate and more efficient.
