This case report describes a rare case of non-syndromic oligodontia in a 13-year-old female patient who was missing six permanent teeth excluding third molars. Clinical examination and radiographs revealed agenesis of teeth 1.5, 2.5, 3.4, 3.5, 4.4, and 4.5. The patient had no history of syndrome or systemic disease. Oligodontia can cause significant dental issues and requires a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Genetic factors are known to play a role in tooth agenesis conditions like oligodontia.

Tooth agenesis is one of the most common congenital malformations in humans. Hypodontia can either occur as an isolated condition (non-syndromic hypodontia) or can be associated with a syndrome (syndromic hypodontia), highlighting the heterogeneity of the condition. Gene anomalies or mutations in MSX1, PAX9, AXIN2 and EDA genes, appear to be most critical during the development of tooth, leading to various forms of tooth agenesis and systemic features. The aim of this paper is to review the genetic basis of hypodontia and identify the genes that have been definitively implicated in the agenesis of human dentition.

Abstract: The present paper reports the treatment of a young adult woman with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors who underwent orthodontic treatment for improvement of teeth alignment and occlusal balance previous to dental implant surgery. This treatment also allowed appropriate space for the future lateral incisors crowns. Then, Implants were positioned and prosthetic abutments installed. Ceramic laminates were planned on central incisors in order to improve anterior aesthetics. All-ceramic crowns and laminates were made using lithium dissilicate-based ceramic The multidisciplinary association of orthodontic, implant and prosthetic techniques resulted in successful functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the case, which was maintained after 1 year follow up.

Assessment of correlation of periodontitis in teeth adjacent to implant and p...Dr. Anuj S Parihar
Aims: The present study was conducted to determine correlation between peri‑implantitis and periodontitis in adjacent teeth. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on 58 patients with 84 dental implants. They were divided into two groups, group I (50) was with peri‑implantitis and group II (34) was without it. In all patients, probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), and clinical attachment loss (CAL) was calculated around implant, adjacent to implant and on contralateral side. Obtained data were statistically analyzed using statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp with one‑way analysis of variance. Results: Males were 30 with 52 dental implants and females were 28 with 32 dental implants. CAL was 5.82 ± 0.52 in group I and 3.62 ± 0.63 in group II (P = 0.001) around implants. PD was 4.28 ± 1.26 in group I and 2.20 ± 0.52
in group II around adjacent teeth (P = 0.002). PD around contralateral teeth was significant (P = 0.05) in group I (3.18 ± 1.01) and group II (2.71 ± 0.73). Conclusion: Periodontitis has negative effect on implant success. Teeth adjacent to dental implant plays an important role in deciding the success or failure of implant. Maintenance of periodontal health is of paramount importance for successful implant therapy.

The management of impacted canines is important in terms of esthetics and function. Clinicians must formulate treatment plans that are in the best interest of the patient and they must be knowledgeable about the variety of treatment options. When patients are evaluated and treated properly, clinicians can reduce the frequency of ectopic eruption and subsequent impaction of the maxillary canine. The simplest interceptive procedure that can be used to prevent impaction of permanent canines is the timely extraction of the primary canines. This procedure usually allows the permanent canines to become upright and erupt properly into the dental arch, provided sufficient space is available to accommodate them. In the present article, an overview of the incidence and sequelae, as well as the surgical, periodontal, and orthodontic considerations in the management of impacted canines is presented.

Abstract: Immediate implant placement has been the acceptable procedure for the past two decades. Perhaps
the most important aspect of any implant surgery in accordance with the successful procedure is implant
surgery and bone to implant contact.The aim of this article is to describe a clinical case in which a fractured
maxillary canine was replaced by an immediately loaded postextraction implant using a simplified technique,
which permits a reduction of the number of implant components and consequently a lower cost of treatment,
while at the same time maintaining acceptable aesthetic and functional outcomes.

Continuing Aspirin Therapy Does Not Increased Risk Of Bleeding For Patients U...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Aspirin is a common, chronically administered preventive treatment for cardiovascular disease . It has been used traditionally as analgesic and anti- inflammatory for centuries and is one of the world’s most widely used drug. Aspirin or acetyl salicylic acid is still the only non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic diseases. However, the majority of recommendations to stop aspirin therapy were not from dental literature. The amount of blood loss depends on the invasiveness of the surgical procedure. No surgical interventions are alike and therefore strict guidelines to alter or stop these medications without considering the invasiveness of the surgical procedure is a gross mistake.The debate as to stop or not to stop aspirin before minor surgical procedures like a simple dental extraction is a serious concern for patients and the dental practitioner. The aim of this article is to present the review of literature regarding safety of dental extraction procedure in patients on aspirin therapy.
Autotransplantation of Tooth in Children with Mixed DentitionAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Autotransplantation of tooth in children is the surgical movement of a tooth from one place in the mouth to another
in the similar individual. Once thought to be uncertain, autotransplantation has achieved high success rates and is an
outstanding option for tooth replacement in children. Although the indications for autotransplantation are narrow, careful
patient assortment coupled with a suitable method can lead to exceptional esthetic and useful results. One benefit of
this procedure is that placement of an implant-supported prosthesis or other form of prosthetic tooth replacement is
not needed. A review of the recommended surgical technique as well as success rates is also discussed.
Prevalence of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars in Population of Arab Israel...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Abstract:
Introduction: Impaction may be defined as the failure of complete eruption into a normal functional position of one tooth within normal time due to lack of space in the dental arch, caused by obstruction by another tooth or development in an abnormal position. The mandibular third molar is the most frequently impacted tooth. The incidence varies from 9.5% to 68% in different populations.
Methods: The study was conducted in Center for Dentistry Research and Aesthetics, Jatt, Israel .Study represents retrospective analysis of panoramic radiographs (orthopantomograms) of patients referred to Center for Dentistry Research and Aesthetics, Jatt, Israel from January 2006 to December 2015 .
Results: A total of 1076 patients,649(60,3%) males ,and 427 (39,7%) females visited Center for Dentistry Research and Aesthetics, Jatt, Israel between January2006 and December2015. . A total of 206 patients met the inclusion criteria. The age ranged from 17 to 55years, with a mean age of 28.1 years and the standard deviation was 5.8 years.The prevalence of impacted mandibular third molars for this study was 19,2%.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that males (62,2%) were more likely to present with impacted mandibular third molars than females (37,8%). The prevalence of third molar impactions was almost the same on both the left (47.8%) and right (52,2%) sides. This study also noted that mesio-angular impactions (50%) were the most common type of impaction. The least common form of impactions was the inverted types (0.3%). The prevalence of impacted mandibular third molars for this study was 19,2%.

Tooth agenesis is the most prevalent craniofacial congenital anomaly in humans. The term refers to an isolated disorder in the absence of non-dental phenotypes but is also used to describe the manifestation of missing teeth in syndromes. The affected individuals suffer from compromised masticatory functions and have decreased quality of life. Discerning the genetic etiology of tooth agenesis not only improves our understanding of normal tooth development but also provides a fundamental basis for developing potential therapeutic strategies for this anomaly. To date, MSX1, Pax9, Axin2, Eda, And Wnt10a have been established as candidate genes associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis.This article reviews the recently discovered genes involved in dental agenesis , and provides an update on the aetiological factors underlying this common malformation.

Managing congenitally missing lateral incisors with single tooth implants Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Congenitally missing teeth are frequently presented to the dentist. Interdisciplinary approach may be needed for the proper treatment plan. Several treatment
options exist for the replacement of congenitally missing lateral incisors. These options include canine substitution, resin bonded fixed partial dentures, cantilevered
fixed partial dentures, conventional fixed partial dentures and single tooth implants. Depending on which treatment option is chosen, a specific criterion has to be
addressed. Interdisciplinary treatment plays a vital role to achieve an excellent, esthetic result for a most predictable outcome. This paper describes the therapeutic use
of osseointegrated implants to replace congenitally missing upper lateral incisors. Highlighting the importance of the Orthodontic/Restorative interface.

Aesthetic Management of Fractured Anteriors: A Case ReportAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Introduction: Coronal fracture of anterior teeth is an important topic for esthetic dentistry. Such fractures may jeopardize esthetics, function, tissue biology
and occlusal physiology, thus endangering tooth vitality and integrity. Coronal fractures resulting from dental trauma most frequently occur to the maxillary
anterior teeth of adolescents and less frequently to mandibular teeth. Adult teeth may also suffer traumatic fracture, although less frequently than for
adolescents.
Case Report: In our case, an economical and time-saving novel technique has been described for direct composite restoration in a young patient with
uncomplicated fractured maxillary anterior tooth.
Conclusion: As restoring a fractured tooth is a complex procedure, this technique can prove as a simple, effective and appropriate technique that will fulfill all
the requirements of dental personnel. This technique can also prove to be easy for inexperienced beginner clinicians without requiring special skills in
providing the patients with direct composite restorations.
Impacted Maxillary Central Incisors: Surgical Exposure and Orthodontic Treat...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
The maxillary permanent central incisor develops early in life and forms part of an aesthetic smile. Disruption of the formation or eruption of the permanent
central incisor has multiple etiological factors. Treatment options depend to some extent on the cause of failure of eruption of the central incisor. Generally,
the earlier treatment is provided, the higher the likelihood of success and the less the complexity. Our results suggest that close monitoring and interdisciplinary
cooperation during the treatment phases led to a successful esthetic result, with good periodontal health and functional occlusion.
Excess of space in the dental arch is diagnosed as a
generalised spacing or a local divergence, often
observed in the maxillary anterior region, as a median
diastema, traumatic loss of central incisors, or
congenital absence of lateral incisors. Furthermore,
spacing is observed in aging individuals, due to
pathological migration of teeth caused by
periodontitis. Finally, adult individuals with partial
edentulous jaws demand pre-prosthetic orthodontic
treatment from functional aspects. Thus, indication for
orthodontic treatment in subjects with spacing of teeth
exists for aesthetic reasons, but also for facilitating
prosthetic restorations with optimal occlusalstability.
Dental implants represent one of the most successful treatment modalities in dentistry.
However, failures do occur in the range from 5 to 8% for routine procedures and up to 20% in major grafting
cases after at least 5 years of function . The majority of implant losses may be explained as biomechanically
induced failures, since low primary implant stability, low bone density, short implants and overload have been
identified as risk factors . Hence, achievement and maintenance of implant stability are pre-conditions for a
successful clinical outcome with dental implants.
The review focuses on different methods used to assess implant stability and recent advances in this field.

Orthodontic tooth movement is basically a biologic response towards a mechanical force. Osteoclast and osteoblast cells mediate bone resorption and apposition, which eventually produces tooth movement. Researches showed that the rate of orthodontic tooth movement can be altered by certain drugs locally or systemically. The Objective of this article is to discuss the current data concerning the effect of drugs on orthodontic tooth movement.
Multidisciplinary Approach in the Rehabilitation of Congenitally Maxillary C...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Objective: This case report describes the multidisciplinary
approach to treat a congenitally missed maxillary canine, how to
improve patient’s smile using orthodontic fixed appliance, endosseous
dental implant, and porcelain veneer to achieve the treatment results of
function and esthetic.
Materials and procedures: Unilateral agenesis of the permanent
maxillary canines in healthy individuals is extremely rare. This
paper presents the case of a female patient diagnosed with congenital
unilateral agenesis of the permanent maxillary canines as well as
occlusal abnormalities in the form of left-side crossbite. To restore the
proper aesthetics and function, interdisciplinary therapeutic treatment
was implemented. In the case presented in this paper, the aim of
oral rehabilitation was to restore a functional balance by obtaining
proper skeletal relationships, creating optimal occlusal conditions and
obtaining arch continuity.
Conclusion: Interdisciplinary treatment combined of orthodontics,
implant surgery, and prosthodontics was useful to treat a nonsyndromic
oligodontia patient. Especially, with the new strategy, implantanchored
orthodontics, which can facilitate the treatmentand make it
more simply with greater predictability.
The multifactorial factors influenc cleft Lip-literature review Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Congenital cleft-Lip and cleft palate have been the subject of many genetic
studies, but until recently there has been no consensus as to their modes of
inheritance. In fact, claims have been made for just about every genetic
mechanism one can think of. Recently, however, evidence has been
accumulating that favors a multifactorial basis for these malformations. The
purpose of the present paper is to present the etiology of cleft lip and cleft palate
both the genetic and the environmental factors. It is suggested that the genetic
basis for diverse kinds of common or uncommon congenital malformations may
very well be homogeneous, whilst, at the same, the environmental basis is
heterogeneous.
Dental implants represent one of the most successful treatment modalities in dentistry.
However, failures do occur in the range from 5 to 8% for routine procedures and up to 20% in major grafting cases after at least 5 years of function . The majority of implant losses may be explained as biomechanically induced failures, since low primary implant stability, low bone density, short implants and overload have been identified as risk factors . Hence, achievement and maintenance of implant stability are pre-conditions for a successful clinical outcome with dental implants.

Over time, progressively shorter implants have been placed such that short implants are now available that are less than 6 mm in length. The viability and high success rates seen with short implants can be explained by osseointegration, the macro geometric design of the implant, as well as physics and the distribution of forces. This paper was aimed to review the stability and survival rate of short implants under functional loads. Numerical and clinical studies were reviewed.

Porcelain laminate veneers are among the most esthetic means of creating a more pleasing and beautiful smile. Porcelain veneers within reason allow for the alteration of tooth position, shape, size and color. They require a minimal amount of tooth preparation, approximately 0.5 mm to 0.7mm of surface enamel reduction. This study describes the use of ceramic veneers without tooth wear, reinforcing the concept that minimally invasive porcelain laminate veneers could become versatile and conservative allies in the fi eld of esthetic dentistry.

Diagnosis and treatment planning is the key factors in achieving the successful outcomes after placing and restoring implants placed immediately after tooth extraction. The purpose of this clinical update is to report on the success and survival of Immediate restoration of single implants replacing right lateral incisor compromised by internal resorption.
Immediate Implant Placement And Restoration With Natural Tooth In The Maxilla...Abu-Hussein Muhamad
Anterior tooth loss and restoration in the esthetic zone is a common challenge in dentistry today. The prominent visibility of the area can be especially distressing to the patient and requires a timely and esthetically pleasing solution. Immediate single-tooth implantation followed by immediate provisionalization is becoming an increasingly desirable treatment that offers numerous benefits over conventional delayed loading. Provisionalization for immediately-placed implants using the patient’s existing tooth can enhance the final aesthetic outcome if certain steps are
followed. If the natural tooth is intact and can be used as a provisional, the emergence profile can be very similar to the preoperative condition. This article outlines a technique to use the patient’s natural tooth after extraction to provisionalize an implant.
Clinical Management of Bilateral Impacted Maxillary CaninesAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Introduction: Impaction of maxillary canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem in orthodontic therapy. When a preventive
approach fails, treatment involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, followed by orthodontic traction to guide and align it into the
dental arch. The aim of the present report was to demonstrate by case reports of an adult patient with bilateral impacted maxillary canines
treated with surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment.
Material and Methods: A 15year-old female with various degrees of bilateral palatal impaction of maxillary canines were managed
by the described technique.
Results and Discussion: Autonomous eruption of the impacted canines after surgical uncovering was witnessed in all patients
without the need for application of a vertical orthodontic force for their extrusion.
Conclusion: The described method of surgical uncovering and autonomous eruption created conditions for biological eruption of the
palatally impacted canines into the oral cavity and facilitated considerably the subsequent orthodontic treatment for their proper alignment
in the dental arch.

“One-Piece” Immediate-Load Post-Extraction Implant In Maxillary Central IncisorAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Abstract: This case report describes extraction of a fractured left maxillary central incisor tooth, followed by immediate placement of an one-piece implant in the prepared socket and temporization by a bonded restoration.
Materials And Methods: The tooth was extracted with minimal hard and soft tissue trauma and without flap reflection. The socket was prepared to the required depth and a Implant was inserted.
Results: The atraumatic operating technique and the immediate insertion of the one-piece Implant resulted in the preservation of the hard and soft tissues at the extraction site.
Conclusion: The “One-piece” dental implant and provisional restoration provided the patient with immediate esthetics, function, comfort and most importantly preservation of tissues. The one-piece implant design resulted in a high cumulative implant survival rate and beneficial marginal bone levels.

ABSTRACT
Dental agenesis is a term referred to the absence of one or more teeth. However, oligodontia is a severe type
of tooth agenesis involving six or more congenitally missing teeth, excluding the third molars. Oligodontia has
a low prevalence and is a very rare condition. The aim was to show this case report of a 13-year-old female
patient who presented oligodontia with absence of six permanent teeth and condylar atrophy on left side. The
patient had no history of any syndrome or systemic disease according to the anamnesis. Is very important to
know oligodontia features to perform a carefully treatment plan.
Key words: Agenesis, Anodontia, Developmental Anomalies, Hypodontia, Oligodontia, Oral Abnormalities
INTRODUCTION
Dental agenesis is the most common
developmental anomaly in humans, often
presenting a significant clinical problem. It is
classified according to the number of missing
permanent teeth excluding the third molars[1,2]
.
Hypodontia is used to describe the absence of one
or few teeth, Oligodontia is used for agenesis of
numerous teeth (more than six teeth) excluding
the third molars and anodontia is the extreme of
oligodontia where there is total absence of any
dental structure[1,3,4,5]
.
Oligodontia is also known as partial anodontia,
severe or advance anodontia. Some of them also
refer this as selective tooth agenesis. According to
different authors, the frequency of hypodontia is

1- 10% and oligodontia 0.1-0.9%. Anodontia
occurs very rarely (17 cases were described over
the last 50 years). Oligodontia may occur as a part
of a genetic syndrome, as a non syndromic
isolated familial trait, as an infrequent finding or
as an isolated condition that has been linked to
mutations of the MSX1andm PAX9.[5,6,7]
The third molar (M3) represents the tooth most
affected with agenesis having a prevalence rate of
20.7%2. In contrast, permanent second molar
(M2) agenesis is a rare occurrence, found in only
2 of 6,000 consecutive orthodontic patients
(0.03%) [1,4,8]
. Excluding the third molars, the
prevalence rate of tooth agenesis is reported as 4.3
to 7.8%4, [5,9].
The mandibular second premolar
(MnP2) is the tooth most often absent, with a
relative frequency of 2.2 to 4.1% [4, 5]
. In fact, the
MnP2 is highly variable developmentally. Besides
the high prevalence of agenesis, the MnP2 often
shows significantly retarded development,
especially when there is agenesis of other
permanent teeth [6]
. Despite the fact that the mean
initial calcification age for MnP2 is 3 years
(varying from 2y3m to3y7m) [7]
, its development
can be suppressed until 6 years8, and some
published reports show radiographic appearance
of the MnP2 after the age of 9 and even at 13
years old [9, 10]
. In addition, the MnP2 accounts for
approximately 24% of all impacted teeth,
excluding the third molars.[11]
The most frequent malposition reported for the
unerupted MnP2 is distoangular development,
with a prevalence rate of 0.2% in dental clinic
patients[12]
. This malposition was found to be
associated with agenesis of the contralateral MnP2
Molecular studies have revealed that the
instructive and permissive tissue interactions
during mouse tooth development described above
are mainly mediated by growth factor signalling.
Development from initiation to eruption is
governed by a sequential and reciprocal signalling
process rather than simple one-way messages. The
signalling involves all major signalling pathways,
including transforming growth factor b (TGFb),
fibroblast growth factor (FGF), sonic heghehog
(Shh), anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Eda), and
epidermal growth factor (EGF) signalling, and
studies with mouse mutants have shown that they
are needed simultaneously during critical stages of
development.[9,10,11,12]
Msx1 and Pax9 are transcription factors intimately
involved in the genetic networks regulating tooth
development. Msx1 contains a homeobox which
binds to specific target sequences in the DNA but
is also capable to proteins interaction. Msx1 has
often been considered rather as a repressor than
activator of gene expression. Pax9 belongs to the
paired-box containing transcription factor family,
and is one of the earliest mesenchymal markers of
the future tooth forming positions in mouse. Pax9
is regulated by epithelial signals, especially FGF8,
and it apparently regulates reciprocal signalling
from the mesenchyme. In mice with hypomorphic
Pax9 mutations, a partial failure of tooth
development was observed, affecting in a dose-
dependent manner the third molars and incisors
and to a smaller extent the other molars. The
ameloblast differentiation and dentinogenesis
were also affected.[10,11,12]
It has been suggested that the key role of Msx1
and Pax9 is to facilitate the bud to cap stage
transition. There is signals emanating from the

epithelium and mesenchymal during tooth
development and molecular regulation
Mesenchymal Msx1 expression is initially
activated by the epithelial bone morphogenetic
protein 4 (BMP4) signal, and needed for a
reciprocal BMP4 signal from the mesenchyme.
BMP4 and Msx1 thus form an autoregulatory
loop. BMP4 signal to the epithelium is crucial for
the formation of the epithelial signalling centre,
the enamel knot, and the arrest of the development
in Msx1 null mutant teeth can be rescued by
external BMP4 or transgenically activated BMP4
expression. The expression of Pax9 is apparently
needed to maintain and, by the synergism with
Msx1, to enhance this loop and also needed later
in tooth development.[9,10,11,12]
This article aims at presenting a case report of a
non-syndromic young girl with several dental
anomalies, contributing evidence to an
understanding of genetically controlled dental
anomaly patterns.
CASE REPORT
A 13-year-old female patient patient reported to
my private Pediatric Dental Clinics reporting
absence of some teeth. Through a digital
panoramic radiograph the existence of multiple
agenesis of permanent dentition was revealed. In
the radiograph agenesis of tooth 1.5, 2.5,3.4, 3.5,
4.4,4.5 (Fig. 1,2) was identified, with a small
dimension of maxilla. Also, a slight condylar
asymmetry with a small size and a slight
stylohyoid ligament ossification was noted in the
left side. After this, a foot radiograph was taken to
determine if the condition had a relation with an
osteopetrosis; however, normal findings were
noted. During anamnesis the patient reported she
had no trauma history, previous tooth extraction,
orthodontic treatment or complications during
pregnancy or birth. The patient´s mother informed
that there was no history of syndromic or systemic
disease. (Fig. 3,4,5,6,7)
At general examination no alterations or systemic
diseases were identified, with facial symmetry, no
palpable lymph nodes and both jaws were normal.
Clinically, in the intraoral examination no caries
and the absence of the same teeth were observed
with tooth rotation of 1.3, 2.3 and 4.3. No
presence of periodontal disease was noted.
The patient was examined to rule out syndromes
associated with oligodontia. She was normal in his
facial appearance and did not show any physical
or skeletal abnormality. Radiological
examinations of the clavicles, vertebral skeleton,
skull and chest were found to be normal.
Ophthalmological and neurological examination
of the patient revealed no pathological symptoms
and showed no signs of mental retardation.
Hematological and biochemical findings were
within the normal limits.

DISCUSSION
A tooth may be considered to be developmentally
missing when it cannot be discerned clinically or
radiographically and no history exists of its
extraction.[3]
Hypodontia/oligodontia that may
result insignificant psychological, dental, aesthetic
and functional problems is classified as isolated or
nonsyndromic, where as hypodontia/oligodontia
and syndromic hypodontia/oligodontia or
hypodontia/ oligodontia are associated with
syndromes. Dhanrajani classified hypodontia
according to the severe of the condition. The term
“mild-to-moderate hypodontia” is used to denote
agenesis of two to five teeth, while the absence of
six or more teeth, excluding the third molars,
indicates “severe hypodontia”. Oligodontia is the
absence of multiple teeth, usually associated with
systemic disorders.[13]
Hypodontia and oligodontia are classified as
isolated or non-syndromic hypodontia/oligodontia
and syndromic hypodontia/oligodontia or
hypodontia/oligodontia associated with
syndromes.3 Most often oligodontia appears as
part of some congenital syndromes that affect
several organ systems.3 Oligodontia can occur in
association with various genetic syndromes, such
as ectodermal dysplasia, incontinentia pigmenti,
Down syndrome, Rieger syndrome, Wolf-
Hirschhorn syndrome, Van der Woude syndrome,
Ectrodactyly- ectodermal dysplasia-clefting
syndrome, Cleft lip palate ectodermal dysplasia
syndrome, Oral facial digital syndrome type I,
Witkop tooth-nail syndrome, Fried syndrome,
Hair- nail- skin- teeth dysplasias.
In a survey conducted by Muller et al, found that
girls had a higher rate of congenitally missing
permanent teeth than boys. [14]
Numerous studies
have appeared on the prevalence of hypodontia in
different countries, showing some variation in
populations, on continents and among races.
Family studies have shown the frequency of
hypodontia and peg-shaped lateral incisor(s) in
parents and sibs of the probands to be significantly
higher than in the general population.
The prevalence of permanent tooth agenesis
ranges between 1.6% and 9.6%, and the
prevalence of deciduous tooth agenesis is lower,
ranging between 0.5 % and 0.9 %.[15]
Dental anomalies can results from many factors,
including genetic and environmental ones.
Although defects in certain genes have the highest
incidence, etiological events in prenatal and
postnatal periods have also been blamed for
anomalies in tooth number, dimension,
morphology, position, and structure [16,17]
this
case report, the patient presented oligodontia
because it had absence of six teeth excluding
third molars. The predominance in females was
according with the stated with Mattheeuws et
al.[18]
Also, this case concurs with Aktan et al[19].
who reported that similar number of missed teeth
was in both sides and maxilla was more affected.
Celikoglu et al. [20]
found that the most frequently
missing teeth were the maxillary lateral incisors,
followed by the mandibular second premolars and
the mandibular central incisors; however, in this
case only second premolars agrees with the
previously raised. The other teeth compromised
were not reported in the literature. Some authors
had found a relation between oligodontia and
osteopetrosis [21]
however, this hypothesis was
6. Muhamad Abu-Hussein et al JMSCR Volume 03 Issue 05 May Page 5654
JMSCR Volume||03||Issue||05||Page 5649-5655||May 2015
discarded when foot radiograph density was
observed.
In the present case, the alveolar process was
affected which concurs with Tavajohi-Kermani et
al[22]
. The absence of Six permanent teeth causes
some several clinical problems with the dimension
of maxilla and mandible. The above, was
supported by Mattheeuws et al [18]
. The small size
in maxilla concurs with Bu et al. [23]
) who found a
smaller dimension in patients with oligodontia.
All this leads to a very complexdental treatment,
agreeing with Renault [24]
. Patient´s history and
anamnesis concurs with a non-syndromic patient.
Finally, is very important to know oligodontia
features to perform a carefully treatment plan.
CONCLUSION
Oligodontia cases should be evaluated carefully
for the presence of any syndromes and managed
appropriately. Patients suffering from oligodontia
may have severe functional, esthetic and
psychological problems. Hence, the management
of such patients generally requires a
multidisciplinary approach.
