Term information
definition
Oligodontia is a rare developmental dental anomaly with clinical features that include six or more missing teeth, lack of development of maxillary and mandibular alveolar bone height and reduced lower facial height. Variation in tooth morphology is also observed along with problems in tooth development, eruption and exfoliation. Possible causes of oligodontia include viral disease during pregnancy, genetic predisposition, metabolic imbalances, developmental abnormalities and environmental factors. Autosomal dominant mutations in PAX9 and MSX1 have been found in patients with molar non-syndromic oligodontia.
