Abstract:
The survey of most common orthodontic anomalies is given in this article. Authors, utilizing literature data, their own research as well as their therapeutic experience, try to elucidate the role of genetics in determination of dental anomalies and malocclusion. They emphasise the fact that genetically determined orthodontic anomalies are not easy to treat. Retention of treatment result could also be a problem. Occurrence of an anomaly in one member of the family should lead to the examination of other members, especially the young ones.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
