There is a lack of evidence for the relationship between sweat pores and tooth agenesis. The aim of this study was to compare sweat pore density on fingertips between a group of patients with oligodontia and a control group without tooth agenesis. This parallel-group controlled clinical trial included 28 patients. Fourteen patients (f/m 9/5; mean age 13.5 ± 3.5 years) with ≥6 congenitally missing permanent teeth, excluding third molars (M3), were enrolled in the study group. The matched control group consisted of 14 patients (f/m 9/5; mean age 12.8 ± 1.8 years) without tooth agenesis. Impressions of 168 fingertips (left and right index, middle, and ring fingers) of the participating subjects were taken and examined using a scanning electron microscope with a 5.85 mm × 4.29 mm region of interest at the center of the fingertip. The primary outcome was the pore-to-pore distance (μm) on a dermal ridge, and the secondary outcome was the number of sweat pores per cm, while pore numbers were adjusted for individual body surface area (BSA). There were no statistically significant differences in age, height, weight, and BSA between the groups. The study group had 11.07 ± 4.03 missing teeth, excluding M3. There was a statistically significant difference ( = 0.006) in the distance between adjacent pores on a dermal ridge between the study and control groups (354.89 ±32.41 μm vs. 340.31 ±39.04 μm). The unadjusted pore numbers showed a statistically significant difference between the groups, but after adjustment for BSA, this difference was no longer present. Patients with oligodontia differed from subjects without tooth agenesis in the distance between two adjacent sweat pores on a dermal ridge. However, the differences were small and of limited clinical significance. Increased pore distance appears to be a better predictor of oligodontia/ectodermal dysplasia than pore number.
