Dental agenesis is the most common developmental anomaly in humans, often presenting a significant clinical problem. In the literature, some terms are used to describe missing teeth like Oligodontia, Anodontia and Hypodontia. Oligodontia is defined as the developmental absence of six teeth or more, excluding third molars. Oligodontia has a low prevalence and is a very rare condition. This paper reports a 13-year-old female patient who presented oligodontia with absence of twelve permanent teeth.
