The treatment plan of choice obtained with the patient was the osseointegrated implant with the aid of orthodontic treatment to open the ideal space. Thus, the objective of this review article is to examine the etiology, clinical properties and treatment of dental agenesis using an osseointegrable implant. This literature review sought a sample in the literature in the PubMed and Science Direct databases. The inclusion criteria were articles published between 2015 and 2020 in Portuguese and English. The following query terms were used: agenesis, oligondotia, hypodontia, agenesis, oligondotia and hypodontia.
