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...

BACKGROUND Agenesis of permanent canines is an uncommon condition that affects human teeth. In fact, canine is the most variable positioned tooth, it can be found palatally or facially displaced or ectopically erupted from the dental arch. On the contrary, canine agenesis is a rare finding in Caucasian populations, but it may be relatively more common in Asian groups. This dental anomaly is fir...

The aim of this study was to establish teeth number anomalies in relation to gender, tooth type, location, distribution pattern and the association between frequently missing teeth among a group of dental patients in Turkey. A total of 378 non-syndromic patients (240 females and 138 males) with an age range of 7-45 (x +/- SD = 22.07 +/- 3.6) having evidence of absent or excess teeth were evalua...

Background Tooth abnormalities are most often present in individuals with oral clefts than general population, and lead to a long-term impact on facial anatomy and self-esteem. The purpose of this study was to compare the proportion of dental anomalies between the cleft side and non-cleft side in individuals with non-syndromic unilateral alveolar clefts (AC). Material and Methods Twenty cone ...

Retention of primary teeth beyond the expected time exfoliation is uncommon; this condition known as persistence. A retained tooth, with crown in good condition, roots, and supporting alveolar bone can serve adults for many years. Aims- To determine prevalence investigate consequences their Materials Methods- ORTHOPANTAMOGRAM (OPG) data obtained from pediatric preventive dentistry 500 patients,...

Oligodontia is defined as a congenital tooth agenesis with the absence of six or more permanent teeth. This clinical report describes a patient with non-syndromic partial oligodontia, with retained deciduous teeth and the absence of 16 permanent teeth. Anterior esthetic problems were caused by interarch tooth size discrepancy, interdental space, aberrant tooth dimensions, and the absence of cen...

Since MSX1 and PAX9 are linked to the pathogenesis of nonsyndromic tooth agenesis, we performed detailed mutational analysis of these two genes sampled from Japanese patients. We identified two novel MSX1 variants with an amino acid substitution within the homeodomain; Thr174Ile (T174I) from a sporadic hypodontia case and Leu205Arg (L205R) from a familial oligodontia case. Both the Thr174 and L...

PURPOSE This study was carried out to determine the prevalence, severity and pattern of hypodontia in Irish patients referred to a tertiary care clinic for developmental dental disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Details of 168 patients with hypodontia referred during the period 2002-2006 were entered in a database designed as a national record. Tooth charting was completed using clinical and ra...
