Agenesis of second premolars and delayed dental maturation

Abstract: These results have implications for several areas of medicine. Joint biological etiology for the agenesis and late maturation of permanent teeth should be considered in developmental research. Orthodontists should be aware of the delay associated with missing second premolars when timing interventions. Forensic age assessment based on tooth development should adjust for missing teeth to avoid underestimating the subject's age.

“…Among permanent teeth, #35 and #45 are most susceptible to delayed development, and considering the delayed permanent dentition of our patient, observing the formation of her premolars in the near future is not impossible (though it is unlikely). On the other hand, agenesis of second premolars is associated with late maturation of permanent dentition, as is evident in our patient [4,25].…”

“…We did not find significant differences in dental development between both groups, although the existence of a greater number of patients with dental agenesis of incisors over premolars (patients with bilateral dental agenesis of premolars had to be excluded) may have biased this analysis. Although most of the studies consulted consider agenesis without differentiating the dental group, Gelbrich et al [36] concludes that the agenesis of the second premolar is not a purely local defect, since its association with the delay in dental maturation raises the suspicion of the existence of a common aetiology.…”

“…In this manner, several attempts to enhance the accuracy of age estimation have been performed, and many pieces of research have been performed considering other factors that may affect dental age estimation techniques, namely socioeconomic status, population affinity, chromosomal anomalies, and diseases, among others [ 7 11 ]. The presence of agenesis, i.e., the congenital absence of teeth, has also been referred to as a variable to consider in age estimation [ 12 , 13 ]. Dental agenesis or hypodontia is one of the most common anomalies in the development of human dentition [ 14 ] and is frequently associated with several other oral abnormalities [ 15 17 ].…”
