Logistic regression was performed to further assess any mutually adjusted potential effects of gender and cleft type on tooth agenesis and microdontia and to examine potential confounding. |
This study aimed to identify the causal mutations in a consanguineous Pakistan family with oligodontia and microdontia. |
Neither the frequency of tooth agenesis nor microdontia differed between male and female patients. |
Macrodontia and microdontia are relatively common human craniofacial abnormalities, and macrodontia of premolars has frequently been described as molarized premolars. |
The variables assessed were tooth agenesis, microdontia, dental malformations, and cleft types. |
Hypodontia, the congenital absence of one or more teeth, and microdontia, abnormal smallness of the teeth, are other features of largely genetic origin. |
