Clinical and Genetic Analysis of a Nonsyndromic Oligodontia in a Child

Overlay Removable Partial Dentures for a 10-Year Old Child with Oligodontia and Posterior Open Bite Occlusion: A Clinical Report

The most common congenital and developmental anomaly in teeth is the missing of one or more of them. Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) or teeth agenesis mentions failure of tooth formation due to disturbances during the early stages of tooth germ development. There are several definitive treatment options for these patients including fixed, removable or implant-supported prostheses. Economic lim...

Nonsyndromic Oligodontia with Ankyloglossia: a Rare Case Report

Agenesis of teeth is one of the most common human developmental anomalies. Oligodontia is a condition in which there is absence of six or more teeth, which itself is a rare condition. Oligodontia is associated with many syndromes. There is no much literature on oligodontia with ankylogossia. This is case report of a 9 year old girl child, who had missing permanent mandibular anterior teeth and ...

Autosomal Recessive Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss: A Case Report with a Mutation in TRIOBP Gene

Hearing loss (HL) is the most common sensory defect. Various genetic as well as environmental factors have been shown to contribute in it. More than 100 loci have been recognized to cause autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). Here, we report a 6-year old female patient with bilateral pre-lingual HL in whom a mutation has been identified in TRIOBP gene (c.6362C>T, S2121L). In s...

Nonsyndromic Oligodontia: a Rare Case Report with Review of Literature

Nonsyndromic Familial Oligodontia with Multiple Dens Invaginatus: A Case Report of an Unusual Case

Oligodontia is a rare dental anomaly with a prevalence of 0.3% in permanent teeth and much less frequency in the primary dentition. Familial oligodontia represents an absence of varying numbers of primary and/or secondary teeth as an isolated trait. It is a complex and multifactorial condition. Many explanations-evolutionary, genetic, and environmental-have been proposed as the etiology. Simult...
