This document provides an overview of developmental disturbances of the jaws and teeth. It begins with introductions and terminology. It then discusses various developmental disturbances that can affect the jaws, such as agnathia, micrognathia, macrognathia, and clefts. Tooth disturbances covered include anomalies in size, number, morphology, structure, and position. Specific conditions discussed include microdontia, hypodontia, taurodontism, amelogenesis imperfecta, and dens invaginatus. Finally, the document examines some developmental cysts of the jaws, such as the nasopalatine duct cyst, median palatal cyst, and Stafne cyst. The conclusion thanks the reader.

3. INTRODUCTION:
• Developmental Disturbances of the Jaws affect the normal growth and differentiation of
craniofacial structures. These conditions result in a variety of abnormalities, which affect the
structure, shape, organization and function of the hard and soft tissues. The causes of most of the
disturbances are of unknown etiology but some may be attributed to congenital (present at or
before birth but not necessarily inherited), hereditary (these are apparent at birth, but some may
become evident after many years) or genetic mutations caused due to altered environmental
factors.
7. Agnathia:
• Also called as Otocephaly, holoprosencephaly agnathia,Synotia.
• Agnathia is characterized by hypoplasia or absence of the jaws with abnormally
positioned ears having an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.
8. SITE:
• Mandible – Partial or complete
Unilateral or bilateral.
• Maxilla - Maxillary process or even the premaxilla
• It is probably due to failure of migration of neural crest mesenchyme into the
maxillary prominence.
14. Management:
• Surgical correction of such cases is feasible. Ostectomy, or resection of a portion
of the mandible to decrease its length, is now an established procedure, and the
results are usually excellent from both a functional and a cosmetic standpoint.
15. Clefts:
• The term cleft lip and palate is commonly used to represent two types of
malformation, i.e., cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) and cleft palate
(CP). Cleft lip and palate are common congenital malformations.
16. Etiology:
• Genetic liability.
• A defective vascular supply to the area involved.
• A mechanical disturbance in which the size of the tongue may prevent the union of
parts.
• Circulating substances, such as alcohol and certain drugs and toxins.
• Infections.
• Lack of inherent developmental force.
33. Frequency of occurrence:
• Primary – Max canine and mandibular second molar.
• Permanent – Max central incisors and canine and molars and mandibular 2nd PM
and 3rd M.
52. Taurodontism:
• Bull like teeth.
• The body of the tooth is enlarged at the expense of the roots.
• Apical extension of the pulp chamber below CEJ.
55. d/d:
• Teeth in conditions like : pseudo-hypoparthyroidism, hypophosphatasia, and
hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant and dependent rickets, early stages of
dentinogenesis imperfecta.
57. Dilaceration:
• Sharp bend or curve in the tooth.
• Due to mechanical trauma to the calcified portion of partially formed tooth.
BULL’S EYE APPEARANCE
72. AMELOGENESIS IMPERFECTA:
• Hereditary enamel dysplasia, hereditary brown enamel, hereditary brown
opalescent teeth.
• A structural defect of the tooth enamel.
• Mutations in the amelogenin, enamelin, and kallikrein-4 genes have been
demonstrated to different types of AI.
79. Dentinogenesis imperfecta.
• Hereditary opalescent dentin.
• Dentinogenesis imperfecta is a genetic anomaly involving primarily the dentin,
although the enamel may be thinner than normal in this condition.
80. • Acc. to SHIELD:
• TYPE I
• TYPE II
• TYPE III
• Modified by Mendelian to TWO types
81. Etiology:
• Defect in collagen type I.
• Defect in dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) gene.
85. Dentin dysplasia:
• Rootless teeth.
• Dentin dysplasia is a rare disturbance of dentin formation characterized by normal
enamel but atypical dentin formation with abnormal pulpal morphology.
86. • TWO TYPES according to Shield.
• RADICULAR TYPE.
• CORONAL TYPE.
91. REGIONAL ODONTODYSPLASIA:
• Odontogenesis imperfecta and ghost teeth.
• Both enamel and dentin are hypoplastic and hypocalcified.
• These teeth may be either primary or permanent. If the primary teeth are affected,
their successors are usually involved.
94. ENAMEL HYPOPLASIA:
• Enamel hypoplasia may be defined as an incomplete or defective formation
of the organic enamel matrix of teeth.
• Heriditary type
• Environmental type

98. • Due to Nurtritional deficiencies.
• Congenital syphilis.
• Flourosis.
110. STAFNE CYST:
Developmental Lingual Mandibular Salivary Gland Depression (Static bone cavity or defect of the mandible,
lingual mandibular bone cavity, static bone cyst, latent bone cyst, Stafne defect)
