Isolated oligodontia in monozygotic twins.
[]
This
case
report
defines
a
case
of
isolated
oligodontia
of
9
and
10
permanent
teeth
in
9
-
year
-old
monozygotic
twin
sisters
and
gives
information
about
the
possible
genetic
and
environmental
etiology
,
related
dental
anomalies
and
treatment
options
.
The
twins
have
a
negative
family
history
of
hypodontia
and
oligodontia
in
their
parents
,
as
well
as
their
paternal
and
maternal
grandmothers
and
first
cousins
.
No
other
dental
anomalies
could
be
detected
in
either
of
the
twins
.
With
the
occurrence
of
similarly
located
tooth
agenesis
,
except
for
one
tooth
,
in
monozygotic
twins
,
one
may
consider
the
influence
of
genetic
and
/
or
environmental
factors
in
their
etiology
.
Hereditary
relationships
associated
with
oligodontia
could
help
the
clinicians
to
predict
the
possibility
of
its
occurrence
in
other
family
members
and
in
the
next
generations
.
However
,
clinicians
should
consider
oligodontia
when
it
is
not
hereditary
.
