Hypodontia prevalence and pattern in women with epithelial ovarian cancer.
[]
To
analyze
the
possible
association
between
hypodontia
and
epithelial
ovarian
cancer
(
EOC
)
,
with
the
special
interest
in
hypodontia
pattern
.
One
hundred
twenty
women
with
EOC
treated
at
the
Department
of
Gynecologic
and
Breast
Oncology
at
the
University
Clinical
Centre
and
120
gynecologically
healthy
women
of
the
same
average
age
were
reviewed
for
the
presence
and
pattern
of
hypodontia
.
Collected
data
were
analyzed
for
frequency
,
tooth
type
,
location
per
jaw
and
side
,
number
of
missing
teeth
per
person
,
and
family
history
of
hypodontia
.
The
results
of
the
study
showed
prevalence
of
hypodontia
in
19
.
2
%
of
women
with
EOC
and
in
6
.
7
%
of
women
in
the
control
group
(
P
 
=
 
.
004
)
.
The
most
frequently
missing
teeth
for
women
with
EOC
and
women
in
the
control
group
were
maxillary
second
premolars
and
maxillary
lateral
incisors
,
respectively
.
Unilateral
occurrence
of
hypodontia
was
more
common
than
bilateral
occurrence
in
women
with
EOC
(
P
 
=
 
.
034
)
.
Of
women
with
EOC
and
hypodontia
,
21
.
7
%
reported
a
positive
family
history
of
hypodontia
compared
with
no
report
in
the
control
group
of
women
with
hypodontia
(
P
 
=
 
.
150
)
.
The
results
statistically
support
possible
association
between
EOC
and
hypodontia
.
Because
hypdontia
can
be
recognized
early
in
life
,
this
finding
could
possibly
help
in
earlier
detection
of
EOC
,
resulting
in
better
prognosis
and
treatment
in
earlier
stages
of
the
disease
.
Earlier
EOC
diagnosis
and
treatment
could
save
many
lives
.
