Understanding Anodontia: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Anodontia is a rare congenital condition characterized by the absence of teeth. It can be caused by genetic mutations or other factors such as exposure to certain medications during fetal development. People with anodontia may have a small or absent dental lamina, which is the tissue that gives rise to teeth. They may also have other physical abnormalities such as cleft palate or facial dysmorphism. Treatment for anodontia typically involves prosthetic dentures or implants to help restore function and appearance.
