Non-Syndromic Oligodontia In A Child - A Rare Case

Oligodontia(OD) is a rare numerical dental anomaly characterized by agenesis of six or more permanent teeth, excluding the third molars. It may show severe manifestation in relation to function and psychosocial wellbeing. Literature indicates children with OD are associated with taurodontism in one or more mandibular molars. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of a nonsyndromic OD in a child with taurodontism in both permanent maxillary and mandibular first molars. Due to the sporadicity of this anomaly, every individual case of OD should be reported to improve understanding of the condition.
