“…A recent prospective cross-sectional study incorporated a hypodontia-specific quality of life tool as part of its methodology. The study found that the presentation and planned treatment of hypodontia adversely impacted on the social and emotional well-being of the 97 teenage participants, with more severe hypodontia associated with greater adverse effects [7] . The study also concluded that early and effective engagement between the affected individual and the interdisciplinary team is essential to minimise further negative impacts associated with the agenesis.…”

“…Clinicians must also be aware of the potential psychosocial impact that agenesis might have on the individual. Although spacing is a common patient complaint, the literature has not always been equivocal in this regard [7] , [8] , [72] , [73] , [74] , [75] . Laing et al, for example, suggested that there was no difference in the psychosocial effects between individuals presenting with hypodontia and individuals with equivalent ‘non-hypodontia’ orthodontic treatment needs [8] .…”

The aim of this study was to describe the specific features of dental agenesis in Malagasy people. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in two private orthodontic clinics in the city of Antananarivo, Madagascar. A total of 72 panoramic radiographs of patients aged more than 7 years old and undergoing orthodontic treatment between January 2008 and September 2022 were examined. Dental agenesis was declared in the absence of crown mineralization on the radiograph. Wisdom teeth agenesis was not considered in this study. Data were collected, coded, processed, and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. A significant predominance of females (72.2% vs. 27.8%) was observed among subjects with tooth agenesis (p < 0.000). The mandible was the most affected arch (57%). The mandibular lateral incisor (83%) was the most frequently absent tooth, followed by the maxillary lateral incisor (69.3%) and the mandibular second premolar (12.2%). Dental position anomalies associated with agenesis included impacted tooth (41.7%) and tooth transposition (4.2%). The general characteristics of tooth agenesis in our study population did not show any major differences compared to previous researches in other countries. However, a difference linked to ethnic origin was observed regarding the type of tooth most frequently affected by agenesis.

“…It has both genetic and environmental influences and often requires treatment from multidisciplinary teams; therefore, consideration is needed for lifelong care and maintenance (Khalaf et al, 2014). As a diverse condition, it has been shown to negatively impact the quality of life of patients (Johal et al, 2007(Johal et al, , 2022. Providing patients with appropriate information at all stages in their care pathway is paramount to ensure they are able to provide informed consent and to have realistic expectations of treatment outcomes.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the quality, reliability and usability of information on the Internet regarding hypodontia. Method: A survey of patients with hypodontia revealed seven key search terms favoured by patients: Hypodontia; Congenitally missing teeth; Missing teeth; Gaps in teeth; Cure of missing teeth; Information on missing teeth; and Treatment of missing teeth. These were entered into four search engines: Google; Ask; Wikipedia; and NHS Choices. Relevant websites were assessed for their overall demographics, author type, country of origin and rank within the search engine. They were then analysed using five validated assessment tools. Intra-examiner reliability was assessed, and statistical analysis of the data was undertaken. Results: Good intra-examiner reliability was observed. A total of 48 websites were included for analysis from an initial 1718. There was no relationship between the ranking of a website on a search engine and the quality of information it contained. When medical search terminology was used, it resulted in websites of better quality than layperson search terms. Most websites were produced by general dental or specialist dental practices but the quality of these was poorer than those developed by private companies and medical organisations. The country of origin was primarily the USA and UK; however, this had no relationship to website quality. Overall, the majority of websites scored poorly for the validated tools and none scored well across multiple tools. A statistical analysis showed a positive relationship between the LIDA and DISCERN instruments but no other correlation between other validated tools was found. Conclusion: The quality and reliability of information on the Internet regarding hypodontia is generally poor. There is a need for a reliable online hypodontia resource that can be recommended for patient use.
