of an earlier human species (Homo erectus) in its size, robusticity, and lack of chin. It also shows features that ally it with later species, such as the relatively small teeth. While initially suggested as an ancestor for the Neanderthals, similarities were later noted between Mauer and remains from Arago (France), which are in turn often grouped with comparable MidPleistocene fossils from Eu...

Dentists and maxillofacial surgeons may occasionally encounter various dental anomalies in number, shape, size, eruption, etc. In particular, microdontia is relatively rare. Computed tomography during clinical dental examination is essential for early detection of these anomalies.

We report on a patient with Schimke immunoosseous dysplasia, an autosomal recessive disorder, and review nine patients from the literature. Manifestations include spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, lymphopenia, signs of defective cellular immunity, and progressive renal disease. This is the first patient known to have the additional findings of thrombocytopenia and microdontia.

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the frequency of developmental dental anomalies in the Indian population. METHODS This prospective study was conducted over a period of 1 year and comprised both clinical and radiographic examinations in oral medicine and radiology outpatient department. Adult patients were screened for the presence of dental anomalies with appropriate radiographs. A comprehensive clini...

amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of genetic disorders that affects both the morphology and quality of tooth structure. although the disease entity is primarily associated with abnormalities of dental and oral structures, it has been reported to be associated with a few syndromes. a 9-year-old girl with minor thalassemia referred to the department of pediatric dentistry of the mashhad faculty ...

Dens in dente are known to be associated with many dental abnormalities such as taurodontism microdontia, gemination, and dens evaginatus. This paper describes a rare case of double dens in dente in a lateral incisor with crown morphology similar to a premolar present in a patient with features of albinism. Problems associated with this condition and their management is discussed.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of tooth agenesis, microdontia, and tooth malformation among non-syndromic oral cleft patients and their potential association with cleft type and gender. METHODS Intraoral records and radiographs of 154 patients (97 males and 57 females) were examined. The variables assessed were tooth agenesis, microdontia, dental malformati...
