Background: Non-syndromic hypodontia is the most common developmental dental anomaly, but there is a paucity of literature on its prevalence and severity in the Indian population.
Aim And Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of non-syndromic hypodontia among adolescent schoolchildren in the southern part of India.
Settings And Design: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 20 schools from two states of southern India, named-Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. A total of 5,458 children in the age-group 13 to 15 years were selected.
Materials And Methods: Clinical examination was carried out to check the absence of a permanent tooth and was confirmed by radiographic findings. The inclusion criterion was children with all the permanent teeth erupted (except third molars) and exclusion criteria were teeth missing due to reasons other than congenital agenesis. A Chi-square test was applied to check the significance.
Results: The total prevalence of hypodontia in the study sample was 1.4%. Girls displayed a higher prevalence value (1.9%) than boys (1.1%). Maxillary lateral incisor was the most commonly congenitally missing tooth, followed by mandibular incisors and mandibular second premolar. Overall, hypodontia with a predominance of unilateral pattern and a predilection for the left side was observed.
Conclusion: The most common missing permanent tooth (except third molars) was the maxillary lateral incisor. Hypodontia was more prevalent in females and had a predominance of unilateral patterns with a predilection toward the left side.

Genotypic and phenotypic correlations in tooth agenesis: insights from WNT10A and EDA mutations in syndromic and non-syndromic forms.
Hum Genet
November 2024
Department of Stomatology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510515, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Tooth agenesis (TA) is a condition where tooth development stops early on and can be classified into two types: non-syndromic (NSTA) and syndromic (STA), based on whether it affects other body systems.
- - Genetic factors are mainly responsible for TA, with many genes, especially WNT10A and EDA, linked to this condition; mutations in these genes are common in cases of NSTA and certain syndromes.
- - The review details what is currently known about the genetic basis of NSTA and STA, particularly looking at how mutations in WNT10A and EDA are connected to the number of teeth that are absent in affected individuals.

Dept. of Prosthodontics, School and Hospital of Stomatology, Hebei Medical University, Hebei Key Laboratory of Stomatology, Hebei Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Shijiazhuang 050017, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to identifyPAX9variants in non-syndromic tooth agenesis families of China, as well as to analyze the genotype⁃phenotype of non-syndromic tooth agenesis caused by PAX9variants, which can provide a basis for the genetic diagnosis of tooth agenesis.
Methods: We collected the data of 44 patients with non-syndromic oligodontia who underwent treatment at Stomatological Hospital of Hebei Medical University between 2018 and 2023. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the peripheral blood of the proband and its core family members, and the variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.
Vascular Anomalies and Congenital Infiltrating Lipomatosis May Affect Dental Maturation and Development - a Case Control Study.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
September 2024
Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Centre, Department of Plastic Surgery, Helsinki University Hospital and University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Objective: Vascular anomalies are often associated with hypertrophy and asymmetry of soft tissues and bony structures. The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional radiographic study was to evaluate dental maturation and development in patients with facial vascular anomalies and congenital infiltrating lipomatosis.
Design: A sample of 342 patients with different vascular anomalies or congenital infiltrating lipomatosis involving the head and neck area was narrowed down to 31 patients with dental panoramic radiographs taken in the mixed dentition.
What could be the role of genetic tests and machine learning of AXIN2 variant dominance in non-syndromic hypodontia? A case-control study in orthodontically treated patients.
Prog Orthod

Department of Information Technology, College of Computer Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- Hypodontia is a dental condition where some teeth are missing, and it's often caused by genes.
- This study looked at how certain gene changes (called SNPs) relate to hypodontia in people from Saudi Arabia by checking saliva samples from 106 participants.
- The results showed that specific gene variations (especially in a gene called AXIN2) are linked to a higher chance of missing certain teeth, and using machines to analyze data can help identify people at risk for this condition.
Prevalence of tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth related to different Thai cleft lip and cleft palate populations.
BMC Oral Health
August 2024
Division of Pediatric Dentistry, Department of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth in Thai patients with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate over a ten-year period at Tawanchai Cleft Center.
- Results showed that tooth agenesis was significantly more common (77.3%) than supernumerary teeth (5.7%), particularly in patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate.
- The most affected teeth were upper lateral incisors, and anomalies were primarily observed on the left side of the maxilla, indicating a possible genetic link.
