“…In the permanent dentition, the prevalence of hypodontia is 3.5% to 7%, and females are affected 1.5 times more than males (Brook et al 2014). Oligodontia, an absence of ≥6 teeth (excluding third molars), is relatively rare, with a prevalence of 0.3% (Bural et al 2012). Anodontia, an absence of all teeth in one or both dentitions, occurs very rarely and only in some forms of ectodermal dysplasia (Nieminen 2009;Yin and Bian 2015).…”
