Disease relevance of Anodontia

• Congenital ectodermal dysplasia with partial anodontia, anhydrosis and hypotrichosis: case report [1].
• Children with ectodermal dysplasia may have hypodontia or anodontia and are often treated dentally with conventional adult appearing prosthesis which are focused only on the oral manifestations of the syndrome [2].

High impact information on Anodontia

• A genetic study of anodontia in X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia [3].
• Reduction of Pax9 gene dosage in an allelic series of mouse mutants causes hypodontia and oligodontia [4].
• Therefore, it may be that children of patients who have received selective serotonergic re-uptake inhibitors (such as Prozac and Zoloft) or the less selective tricyclic anti-depressant drugs (such as Elavil) would be at a higher risk for developmental dental defects such as anodontia and hypodontia [5].
• Oxygen, sulphide and nutrient uptake of the mangrove mud clam Anodontia edentula (Family: Lucinidae) [6].
• A patient suffering from hemifacial microsomia with mandibular anodontia on the affected side is described [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Anodontia

• During a screening examination for orthodontic evaluation and for possible partial anodontia, a large radiopaque mass was found in the right maxillary sinus of a 12-year-old boy [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Anodontia

• The expanded experience with oral implants and supplementary augmentation techniques has opened new possibilities for treating patients with oligodontia or anodontia with fixed prostheses [9].
• Longitudinal study of jaw growth and prosthetic management in a patient with ectodermal dysplasia and anodontia [10].
• Ectodermal dysplasia with total anodontia: rehabilitation of a seven year old child [11].
