OBJECTIVE In the present study, it is describe the phenotypical analysis and the mutational screening, for genes PAX9 and MSX1, of six families affected by severe forms of tooth agenesis associated with other dental anomalies and systemic entities. STUDY DESIGN Six families affected by severe tooth agenesis associated with other dental anomalies and systemic entities were included. Oral explo...

The simultaneous occurrence of various multiple dental anomalies has been reported previously, particularly in cases of chromosomal abnormalities that often manifest with multisystem involvement.' 2 Additionally, multiple dental anomalies have been reported in individuals and within families, without evidence of other systemic manifestations. Ekman-Westborg and Julin reported a case of macrodon...

Tooth disorders in the anterior region of the maxilla are very common among patients with cleft lip, alveolar bone and palate. The authors concentrate on dental disorders, erupting problems and root development, specifying dental anomalies - especially regarding the lateral incisor, central incisor and canine.

Clefts are common birth defects. They are accompanied by various malformations, including disturbances in facial look as well as skeletal disorders that include malocclusions, most frequently crossbites and class III anomalies. The aim of the study was to present the commonest malocclusions in patients with total cleft of the lip, alveolar bone and palate (n = 154) and compare the results to th...
