The problem I see with "partial edentulism", which is certainly an authentic expression in orthodontics, is that it can denote a single missing tooth, though it often denotes more. In other words, it is not a perfect match for "multiples".
I suggest the straightforwardly accurate "multiple missing teeth", which, though less technical-sounding. is actually perfectly common in the professional literature: 59 PubMed results compared with 216 for "partial edentulism":

"A 56-year-old female patient (JN) presented with a severe Class II division 1 mutilated malocclusion with multiple missing teeth"
