Background: It was the aim of this study to investigate tooth agenesis patterns, which are expressed to different subphenotypes according to the TAC method in a spectrum of non-syndromic orofacial cleft patients. Methods: A total of 183 orofacial cle...
Background: Tooth agenesis is the most frequently occurring genetic developmental anomaly in clinical dentistry. The MSX1 gene, essential for tooth development, has been associated with non-syndromic tooth agenesis. This study aims to identify novel...
Background/Objectives: Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) is a congenital condition that causes the absence of one or more teeth without accompanying systemic abnormalities, which significantly affects quality of life. Genetic factors, including mut...
Background/Objectives: Tooth agenesis (TA) is a developmental anomaly prevalent in humans. It is particularly significant in children and adolescents because it is related to esthetic, physiological, and functional problems, including malocclusion, p...
The purpose of this research was to investigate and identify PAX9 gene variants in four Chinese families with non-syndromic tooth agenesis. We identified pathogenic gene variants by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing and then studied...
Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (ns-TA) is one of the most common dental anomalies characterized by the congenital absence of at least one permanent tooth (excluding third molars). Regarding the essential role of genetic factors in ns-TA aetiology, the...
Background: Tooth development or odontogenesis is a complicated, multi-staged process, regulated by a plethora of genes. Disruptions during the early stages of odontogenesis may cause the complete absence of one or more teeth, known as tooth agenesis...
Abstract: Both X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) and non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) result in symptoms of congenital tooth loss. This study investigated genetic causes in two families with XLHED and four families with NSTA. We s...
The goal of this study was to identify the pathogenic gene variants in patients with odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia syndrome (OODD) or nonsyndromic tooth agenesis. Four unrelated individuals with tooth agenesis and their available family members were...
The process of tooth formation is a series of reciprocal interactions between the ectoderm and mesoderm, and it is believed that many genetic factors are involved in this complex process. More than a dozen genes have been identified in non-syndromic...
Tooth agenesis is among the most prevalent congenital anomalies affecting human dentition, characterized by the developmental absence of one or more teeth. This condition may be present in either syndromic or non-syndromic forms, with significant imp...
Keratinocyte differentiation factor 1 (KDF1) is a recently identified and rare candidate gene for human tooth agenesis; however, KDF1-related morphological characteristics and pathological changes in dental tissue and the oral epithelium remain large...
Sexual dimorphism in the human dentition is of interest from a developmental, evolutionary, and clinical point of view. Here, we investigated sexual dimorphism in third molar agenesis patterns and severity in non-syndromic white European individuals...
The dental abnormalities are the typical features of many ectodermal dysplasias along with congenital malformations of nails, skin, hair, and sweat glands. However, several reports of non-syndromic/isolated tooth agenesis have also been found in the...
Individuals with orofacial clefting (OFC) have a higher prevalence of tooth agenesis (TA) overall. Neither the precise etiology of TA, nor whether TA occurs in patterns that differ by gender or cleft type is yet known. This meta-analysis aims to iden...
The aim of the study was to assess the presence and distribution of third molars (M3) regarding their autotransplantation in patients with congenital absence of second premolars (PM2). Additionally, M3 development in relation to patients’ age a...
Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare non-syndromic condition involving total or partial non-eruption of posterior teeth in the absence of mechanical obstruction. This paper presents the case of a healthy girl referred at age 4 for asymmetry of...
Tooth agenesis (TA), the congenital absence of one or more teeth, is the most common manifestation of defective dental morphogenesis in humans. TA can occur as an isolated (non-syndromic) condition or as part of a broader syndromic presentation. In t...
Background: The risk of palatally displaced canines (PDCs) rises in patients with tooth agenesis. The orthodontic extrusion and alignment of PDCs require adequate anchorage to enable tooth movement and control the side effects. There is no paper pres...
Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) represent a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by the abnormal development of ectodermal-derived tissues. They include the involvement of the hair, nails, skin, sweat glands, and teeth. Pathogenic varia...
