Abstract:A syndrome is a medical condition that is characterized by a particular group of signs and symptoms, involving several organ systems. Oligodontia is defined as the developmental absence of six teeth or more, excluding third molars. Oligodontia can be classified as syndromic or nonsyndromic. Nonsyndrome oligodontia is a developmental dental anomaly without involvement of other organs. The consequences of missing teeth include abnormal occlusion or altered facial appearance, which can cause psychological distres… Show more
“…This granular structure is similar to that reported earlier for cassava starch. [ 48,49 ] No significant changes in the granule morphology either with respect to plant growth or cultivar differences could be observed. However, granular size showed statistically significant differences with the age of the crop ( Table 3 ).…”
Wide variability exists in starch properties even among the same botanical source depending on climatic factors, genotypic differences, harvesting period, etc. The present study is an attempt to understand changes in structure, composition and physicochemical properties of cassava starch with root development. Starch is isolated from five cultivars of cassava at different root harvesting periods starting from root initiation stage, that is, 2-12 months after planting. The cultivars are selected in such a way that they represent different growing duration (short and normal), ploidy level (diploid and triploid), and end use (industrial and edible). Amylose/amylopectin ratio varies in a narrow range (0.24-0.28) for the starch from different varieties. Starch granule morphology does not show any significant variation with root growth and cultivar, but the average granule size varies significantly. All the starches show A-type X-ray diffraction pattern and the percentage crystallinity ranges from 37% to 48%. Average chain length and molecular weight of the starch show varietal differences. Even though the swelling power, solubility, water binding capacity and paste clarity are not significantly affected by the root harvesting period, the cultivar differences are evident for these parameters. Significant differences in the physicochemical and functional properties of starch with ploidy of the plant are not observed.

“…The heritability of congenitally missing teeth has been shown in many studies. The genetic factors may be dominant or recessive and it is obvious that in many cases multiple genetic and environmental factors are acting together [8].…”

“…Rasmussen reported nine cases of non syndromic oligodontia with 14-24 missing teeth excluding third molar [13]. Nagveni, et al, have reported a case of non syndromic oligodontia in a 13-year-old patient with 14 missing teeth [14] non syndromic oligodontia in a 9-year-old patient with 26 missing teeth [8].…”
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.
Enamel hypoplasia is an exclusive ectodermal disturbance, related to alterations in the organic enamel matrix which can cause white flecks, narrow horizontal bands, lines of pits, grooves, and discoloration of the teeth. It can result in compromised oral health that causes physiological and psychological disturbances. Management of enamel hypoplasia not only includes esthetic and functional rehabilitation of the patient but also requires a positive rapport building with the patient due to psychosocial issues. The present case reports elucidate step-by-step management of 16-year-old female patient who presented with localized enamel hypoplasia with severely decayed anterior teeth, poor dental esthetics, and oligodontia of the lower teeth.
