A key to six species of Anaphothrips known from China is provided, together with distribution information. Anaphothrips dentatussp. n. is described and illustrated from Sanjiang Plain in northeastern China, based on one male and five apterous females. This species is unusual in having the posterior margin of tergite VIII with a craspedum of small teeth rather than long microtrichia.

Axenfeld Rieger Syndrome is anterior segment dysgenesis characterized by posterior embryotoxon and of the chamber. Developmental abnormalities angle cause increased resistance to outflow. Ocular hypertension a complication in almost 50% cases. It an autosomal dominant disease its prevalence between 50,000 100,000 newborns per year. The main associated affected genes are FOXC1 PITX2, occurring 4...

Dental anomalies have been known to occur in humans due to a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Combinations of dental anomalies are known to be associated with specific syndromes. A few cases of multiple dental anomalies have been reported in patients with no generalized abnormalities. This case report describes an unusual occurrence of a combination of dental anomalies in an appare...

The present case report describes the interdisciplinary management of a patient with increased overbite and overjet, Angle’s Class Ⅰ malocclusion, bilateral agenesis mandibular central incisors microdontia upper lateral incisors. 18-year-old female had convex profile, maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion mild spacing in anterior region. Therefore, treatment consisted fixed appliance therapy, foll...

In the permanent dentition, the type of congenital missing teeth varies from author to author and the demographic and geographic profiles. In Europeans, the mandibular second premolar is the most frequently absent tooth, followed by the maxillary lateral incisor and the maxillary second premolars (Bergstrom, 1977; Rolling, 1980; O'Dowling & McNamara, 1990; Aasheim & Øgaard, 1993; Nordgarden et ...

Background: A common problem that requires orthodontic intervention is maxillary lateral incisor agenesis. A common treatment for this problem is to open space for a maxillary lateral incisor implant. However, that treatment is expensive. Often, parents with this problem wonder if their children will also have this anomaly. Objective: To determine the relative risk of a parent with maxillary la...

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...

Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) [MIM 164200] is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the gap junction alpha 1 (GJA1) gene encoding for connexin 43 (Cx43). Typical signs include type III syndactyly, microphtalmia, microdontia, and neurological disturbances. We report a 59-year-old man having clinical symptoms and signs suggestive of ODDD, with some rarely reported features, that is the pres...
