<p>Since April 2012, insurance coverage has become available in Japan for orthodontic treatment in cases of oligodontia, which has increased interest in orthodontic treatment among general dentists, parents, and patients. The difficulty associated with the treatment of a congenital absence of teeth in a patient is often evaluated based on the number of missing teeth, the difficulty of treatment is also influenced by the sites of absence, thus we think further research is important. We examined 54 patients (19 males, 35 females) diagnosed with oligodontia whose ages at the initial visit ranged from 7 years and 1 month to 14 years and 9 months (Hellman dental developmental stage ranging from IIIA to IVA). Most patients had missing maxillary and mandibular second premolars, however the distribution of missing teeth across the maxilla and mandible was found to vary among patients, with most cases showing non‐matching missing tooth locations. These findings suggested the need for individualized diagnoses and appropriate treatment planning for comprehensive dental care, including prosthetic treatment. If necessary, it may be essential to consider early orthodontic treatment to take into account future craniofacial growth and teeth alignment. (J Osaka Dent Univ 2024; 58: 355-363)</p>
