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 ...

Hypodontia is the congenital absence of one or more teeth because of agenesis. The most commonly missing teeth are the third molars, the maxillary lateral incisors and the second premolars. Cases are presented of three patients with a missing mandibular incisor.

We describe a mother and her twin daughters affected with severe hypodontia of the permanent teeth, precocious calcification of the choroid plexus, and minor digital anomalies. The presence of inner telecanthus, broad and flattened nasal bridge, mild ocular proptosis, small nose with anteverted nostrils, and slight microretrognathia gives them an unusual appearance. All three affected persons a...

Hypodontia is the congenital absence of less than six teeth because of agenesis. The absence of teeth may be unilateral or bilateral. Congenital absence of mandibular central incisors is not well documented in the literature. The aim of the present paper is to report, a case of congenital missing permanent mandibular central incisors and its clinical implications.

Abstract Background Severe hypodontia (developmental absence of teeth) can have significant functional and cosmetic impact, causing dietary restrictions, speech delay bullying. Management in childhood is usually with removable dental prostheses, but retention stability are often compromised by hypoplastic dento-alveolar bone ridges the edentulous areas. Presenting problems A 3-year-old child wa...

Tooth agenesis is one of the most common anomalies of human dentition. Recent studies suggest that a number of genes are related to both syndromic and non-syndromic forms of hypodontia. In a previous study, we observed that polymorphism in rs929387 of GLI3 might be associated with hypodontia in the Chinese Han population based on a limited population. To further confirm this observation, in thi...
