What syndromes are associated with oligodontia?

Oligodontia can occur in association with various genetic syndromes
genetic syndromes
When the genetic disorder is inherited from one or both parents, it is also classified as a hereditary disease. Some disorders are caused by a mutation on the X chromosome and have X-linked inheritance. Very few disorders are inherited on the Y chromosome or mitochondrial DNA (due to their size).

, like ectodermal dysplasia, Van Der Woude syndrome, Down syndrome and Reiger syndrome or as a nonsyndromic
nonsyndromic
Nonsyndromic deafness is hearing loss that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic deafness involves hearing loss that occurs with abnormalities in other parts of the body. Genetic changes are related to the following types of nonsyndromic deafness.

What genetic or congenital conditions are associated with hypodontia or oligodontia?

EDA, EDAR and EDARADD genes are indeed responsible both for isolated or syndromic hypo/oligodontia. Many other genes are involved in hypo/oligodontia such as MSX1, PAX9, IRF6, GREM2, AXIN2, LRP6, SMOC2, LTBP3, PITX2, and WNT10B.

What causes oligodontia?

Possible causes of oligodontia include viral disease during pregnancy, genetic predisposition, metabolic imbalances, developmental abnormalities and environmental factors. Autosomal dominant mutations in PAX9 and MSX1 have been found in patients with molar non-syndromic oligodontia.

What type of mutation causes oligodontia?

WNT10A mutations are the most commonly reported in the genetic etiology for syndromic oligodontia and PAX9 mutations are the most commonly reported genetic etiology for isolated oligodontia. Oligodontia is not only a disorder of missing teeth but also a clinical sign of a potentially complex systemic condition.

Is oligodontia a disability?

Conclusions: Oligodontia is a heterogeneous condition. Patients with oligodontia can be classified as having three different types according to the extent of their disability and the complexity of their prosthodontic requirements.

Is anodontia hereditary?

Anodontia is an inherited genetic defect. The exact genes involved are unknown. However, Anodontia is usually associated with ectodermal dysplasia. Ectodermal dysplasia is not one disorder but a group of closely related hereditary conditions that affect the hair, nails, skin, and sweat glands.

How common is anodontia?

The prevalence of anodontia is unknown but it is a very rare disorder. Anodontia occurs in less than 2-8% of the general population in regards to permanent teeth and 0.1-0.7% in primary teeth.

How is oligodontia inherited?

Genetic Causes

If one or both of your parents experience a genetic disorder or mutation, it's not a guarantee that you will develop the same condition. Genetic causes are varied, given that oligodontia is caused by both genetic syndromes and inherited family traits.

What is ectodermal dysplasia caused by?

The different types of ectodermal dysplasia are caused by the mutation or deletion of certain genes located on different chromosomes. Because ectodermal dysplasias are caused by a genetic defect they may be inherited or passed down the family line.

What is ectodermal dysplasia syndrome?

The ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) are a heterogeneous group of nearly 100 inherited disorders characterized by anomalies in at least two of the structures derived from the embryonic ectoderm, with at least one involving the skin appendages (hair, nails, sweat glands) or teeth.

What is Turner's hypoplasia?

Turner's Tooth, also called Enamel Hypoplasia by professionals in the field, is a condition that reduces a tooth's enamel thickness, increases tooth sensitivity, leaves the affected tooth more susceptible to decay, and results in an unsightly appearance.

What is cause Hypercementosis?

Hypercementosis is excessive deposition of cementum on the tooth roots. In most cases, its cause is unknown. Occasionally, it appears on a supraerupted tooth after the loss of an opposing tooth. Another cause of hypercementosis is inflammation, usually resulting from rarefying or sclerosing osteitis.

What causes severe hypodontia?

Hypodontia is usually the result of a problem with the band of tissue under the gums (dental lamina) where the teeth form. The most common cause of these problems is heredity or family history. A mutation of one of the specific genes which help form the dental lamina properly can lead to hypodontia.

What is the difference between anodontia and hypodontia?

Hypodontia refers to the absence of fewer than 6 teeth (not including third molars). Oligodontia refers to the absence of 6 or more teeth (not including third molars). Anodontia is the complete absence of teeth. Hypodontia is more common in the permanent dentition than in the primary dentition.
