Hypodontia, or tooth agenesis, is the most prevalent craniofacial malformation in humans. It
may occur as part of a recognised genetic syndrome or as a nonsyndromic isolated trait …

INTRODUCTION: Internal root resorption is the progressive destruction of intraradicular
dentin and dentinal tubules along the middle and apical thirds of the canal walls as a result …

BMP signaling plays an important role in dentin development. BMPs and antagonists
regulate odontoblast differentiation and downstream gene expression via canonical Smad …

Dental anomalies are caused by complex interactions between genetic, epigenetic and
environmental factors during the long process of dental development. This process is …

Dental agenesis is the most common developmental anomaly in humans and is frequently
associated with several other oral abnormalities. Whereas the incidence of missing teeth …

Tooth agenesis or hypodontia, failure to develop all normally developing teeth, is one of the
most common developmental anomalies in man. Common forms, including third molar …

Tooth agenesis may originate from either genetic or environmental factors. Genetically
determined hypodontic disorders appear as isolated features or as part of a syndrome …

INTRODUCTION: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of dental
anomalies in patients with agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors and to compare the findings …

The ancestor of recent vertebrate teeth was a tooth-like structure on the outer body surface
of jawless fishes. Over the course of 500,000,000 years of evolution, many of those …

Oligodontia is defined as the congenital lack of six or more permanent teeth, excluding third
molars. Oligodontia as well as hypodontia (lack of one or more permanent teeth) are highly …
