Abstract:
Oligodontia is one of the most common developmental abnormalities in humans. The present case report highlights the features of oligodontia in a 12-year-old male patient which was managed successfully with multidisciplinary approach. Familial oligodontia represents as an absence of varying numbers of secondary teeth seen as an isolated trait. The advance in the understanding of tooth development and genetic control of tooth morphology not only allows clinical research to broaden the knowledge of tooth agenesis but also provides optimum clinical care.
