Background: Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) is a type of ectodermal dysplasia (ED) in which patients with non-syndromic oligodontia may only affect teeth. No pathological findings were found in other tissues of the ectodermal. Herein, we report a case of a NSTA patient with severe dental anxiety and poor oral health.

Introduction: Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetically determined, non-syndromic enamel dysplasia that may manifest as hypoplasia, hypomaturation, or hypocalcification and can commonly be classified into four primary groups. In this retrospective analysis, specific orofacial characteristics are described and associated with each of the AI types based on a patient cohort from Witten/Herdecke University, Germany.
Methods: Data from 19 patients (ten male and nine female, mean age 12.

Objectives: To investigate the role of Keratinocyte Differentiation Factor 1 (KDF1) in ectodermal dysplasia (ED) and nonsyndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) and perform a literature review.
Methods: Genome sequencing was used to identify genetic variants in a Thai, NSTA proband and validated through Sanger sequencing. Pathogenicity was assessed using ACMG guidelines, MetaRNN and AlphaMissense.

Introduction: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a heterogeneous group of disorders associated with decreased fetal movement, with a prevalence between 1/3000 and 1/5200 live births. Typical features of AMC include multiple joint contractures present at birth, and can affect all joints of the body, from the jaw, and involving the upper limbs, lower limbs and spine. The jaws may be affected in 25 % of individuals with AMC, with limited jaw movement and mouth opening.
