hypodontia

A similar condition is hypodontia, in which there are fewer than the usual number of teeth.

Rare but more common than complete anodontia are hypodontia and oligodontia.

In dentistry, hypodontia is the condition at which the patient has missing teeth as a result of their failure to develop.

The permanent teeth are commonly irregular and teeth may be missing (hypodontia).

Alopecia, hypodontia, abnormal tooth shape, and dystrophic nails are observed.

This condition is also characterized by absent teeth (hypodontia) or teeth that are malformed.

There is a relationship between tooth agenesis and absence of the peripheral trigeminal nerve (see Hypodontia).

The suggestion therefore is that hypodontia can serve as a "marker" for potential risk of EOC in women.

Presenting conditions include primary hypothyroidism, cleft palate, hypodontia, and ectodermal dysplasia.

Partial anodontia, known as hypodontia or oligodontia, is the congenital absence of one or more teeth.

Dental abnormalities may also occur including abnormally small, underdeveloped teeth (hypodontia) with small, slender roots.

Infectious causes of hypodontia: rubella, candida.

But MSX1 and MSX2 are excluded as candidate genes for hypodontia.

Anodontia is a complete lack of tooth development, and hypodontia is a lack of some tooth development.

Dentists may also play an important role in diagnosing cases not detected at birth, as they detect hypodontia commonly associated with VWS.

Common features are a narrow/high-arched palate, posterior bilateral crossbite, hypodontia (missing some teeth), and crowding of teeth.

Many denominations are attributed to this anomaly: partial anodontia, hypodontia, oligodontia, the congenital absence, anodontia, bilateral aplasia.

The study shows that women with EOC are 8.1 times more likely to have hypodontia than are women without EOC.

Mutations in this gene, which was once known as homeobox 7, have also been associated with Witkop syndrome, Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, and autosomal dominant hypodontia.

In the 1960s and 1970s, several studies were conducted sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, with the aim of finding a link between genetics and hypodontia.

Some systemic disorders which may result in hypodontia include Crouzon syndrome, Ectodermal dysplasia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Gorlin syndrome.

Dental defects may include the presence of certain teeth at birth (natal teeth) and absence (hypodontia or partial adontia), malformation, and/or improper alignment of teeth.

AXIS inhibition protein 2 (AXIN2) gene polymorphic variants may be associated with both hypodontia and oligodontia (characterized by the lack of six or more permanent teeth).

The Journal of the American Dental Association published preliminary data suggesting a statistical association between hypodontia of the permanent teeth and epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
