Article Synopsis
  • Oligodontia, a condition where a person is missing several teeth, can occur on its own or as part of a syndrome linked to other issues affecting the skin, hair, or nails.
  • The study examined hair characteristics of 25 orthodontic patients aged 6 to 24 who were diagnosed with oligodontia but showed few ectodermal symptoms.
  • Results showed a significant prevalence of hair disorders in 68% of subjects, including various forms of hair loss and texture abnormalities, suggesting that hair examination methods like trichoscopy and trichogram could help distinguish between types of oligodontia.

Introduction: Despite researchers' recent interest in identifying links between some dental and craniovertebral abnormalities, there are many important, unassessed gaps in our knowledge of this matter. In addition, previous samples were small. This large study aimed to examine, for the first time, the occurrence/severity of numerous dental and skeletal anomalies or variations and their correlations with each other and with growth patterns.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is any association between molar incisor hypomineralization and developmental dental anomalies.

Methods: Two pediatric dentists evaluated panoramic radiographs of 429 children aged 8-14 years with molar incisor hypomineralization (study group) and 437 children without molar incisor hypomineralization (control group) in terms of developmental dental anomalies. Twelve different developmental dental anomalies were categorized into four types: size (microdontia, macrodontia); position (ectopic eruption of maxillary permanent first molars, infraocclusion of primary molars); shape (fusion, gemination, dilaceration, taurodontism, peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors); and number (hypodontia, oligodontia, hyperdontia) anomalies.

Objective: Variants in wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 10A (WNT10A) have been proposed to be the most common cause of non-syndromic oligodontia (NSO). The goal of the present study was to identify the novel WNT10A variants in Chinese families with NSO.

Design: Clinical data were collected from 39 families with oligodontia admitted to the Hospital of Stomatology Hebei Medical University (China) from 2016 to 2022.
