A radiographic examination including intraoral and extraoral images would provide sufficient information to establish the correct number of teeth present.

Some historical data might be helpful in this case but would not be considered the best diagnostic component. Enough information should be present in the clinical and radiographic examinations that a differential diagnosis is not necessary.
