Abnormalities in size of teeth and number of teeth are occasionally recorded in clinical cases. True generalized microdontia is rare case in which all the teeth are smaller than normal. Mesiodens is commonly located in maxilary central incisor region and uncommon in the mandible. In the present case a 12 year-old boy was healthy; normal in appearance and the medical history was noncontributory....

Hypodontia and associated conditions like Hereditary Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED) and microdontia markedly influence on physical, functional and psychosocial maturation of the affected individuals. Thorough evaluation, proper counseling and careful treatment planning employing a multidisciplinary approach are keys to a successful, long-term management. This case report describes the prosthodontic...

BACKGROUND Labyrinthine Aplasia, Microtia and Microdontia (LAMM) syndrome is characterized by the complete absence of inner ear structures (Michel aplasia), microtia and microdontia. Hypophosphatemic rickets results from defects in the renal tubular reabsorption of filtered phosphate. CASE CHARACTERISTICS 13-year-old Indian girl presented with deafness since infancy and progressive wrist wide...

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) is a descriptive term used for group of inherited disorders of bone growth resulting in short stature, skeletal abnormalities, and problems with hearing and vision. SED have three major forms, SED congenital, pseudoachondroplastic SED, and SED tarda. SED tarda is milder than SED congenita.

In human dentition characteristics, complex processes intervene that have a close relationship with the growth and development of the whole craniofacial complex mainly in bones such as the maxilla and the mandible. Dental morphology is determined by environmental and genetic factors which are in a dynamic relationship that may cause single, partial or complete anomalies in dental development. D...

The aim of this paper is to describe a restorative approach to the cosmetic remodeling of the teeth of a young adult patient with right maxillary lateral hypodontia and left lateral microdontia. A conservative restorative management was proposed to improve smile esthetics by combining direct composite resins and ceramics. Initially, periodontal therapy and dental bleaching were performed. Subse...
