The dental agenesis is a congenital disease that gives rise to the absence of one or more teeth and this can affect the deciduous dentition as the permanent too. This alteration is the result of a disorder of the dental lamina during the training process. These patients need a multidisciplinary treatment by the orthodontist, the periodontist, the oral surgeon and the prosthodontist. In this way...

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the hypodontic (agenesis) and supernumerary tooth formation observed in Byzantine community Beybağ, Muğla. Material Method: During Beybağ excavations, 161 graves which were unearthed 2008 dated Period. 97 (mandible and/or maxilla) jaw bones obtained from 171 individuals constitute our material. It determined that these belonged 39 male, 26 female 32...

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies regions of the genome that likely affect the variable state of a phenotype of interest. These regions can then be studied with population genetic methods to make inferences about the evolutionary history of the trait. There are increasing opportunities to use GWAS results – even from clinically-motivated studies – for tests of classic anthropolo...

BACKGROUND Congenital dental anomalies can affect up to 25% of the population. AIM To report the genetic study of a family with dental anomalies. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied a Chilean family presenting with three independent dental phenotypes: third molar agenesis, supernumerary teeth, and dentinal dysplasia type I. We searched for mutations in candidate genes proposed for tooth agenesi...

AGENESIS OF MAXILLARY LATERAL INCISORS IN ORTHODONTIC PATIENTS AND THE RELATION TO OVERALL TOOTH SIZE Jane Wright, DDS Marquette University, May 2011 The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most frequently missing tooth in the dental arch with clinical management requiring a complex and multidisciplinary treatment approach. It has been suspected that teeth could be smaller in the maxillary ...

background: the aim of the present study is to determine the number of third molars per person, angulation, level, amount of space for eruption of third molar between ramus of mandible and second molar and the eruption status of third molar in a group of libyan students, with different impaction patterns and agenesis of third molars. materials and methods: in this descriptive retrospective stud...

Dental anomalies are the formative defects caused by genetic disturbances or environmental factors during tooth morphogenesis. Simultaneous occurrence of various multiple anomalies has been reported previously, particularly in cases of chromosomal abnormalities that often manifest with multisystem involvement. Very few cases of multiple anomalies have been documented in patients with no known g...

Salivary gland agenesis is an extremely uncommon congenital anomaly, which may cause a profound xerostomia in children. The oral sequelae includes dental caries, candidosis, and ascending sialadenitits. The present report details a child with rampant dental caries secondary to xerostomia. Despite having oral disease for many years, the congenital absence of all the salivary glands failed to be ...

This article reports the case of a Brazilian child diagnosed with Kabuki make-up syndrome (KMS), addressing the clinical features observed, with emphasis on the disease-specific oral and craniofacial manifestations. The patient had the distinctive KMS craniofacial appearance, mild delayed mental development, fingers with prominent fingertip pads and visual deficit. The dental findings included ...

This retrospective study examined the occurrence of congenitally missing permanent teeth and the need for dental treatment in the Regensburg University Medical Centre of Eastern Bavaria. Using a dental administration software tool, a total of 1442 patients who presented for orthodontic treatment between 1994 and 2006 were identified. After exclusion of 89 patients with incomplete records, 1353 ...
