Unilateral Maxillary Canine Agenesis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract: Congenital absence of maxillary permanent canines is an extremely rare condition, which may appear as part of a syndrome or as a nonsyndromic form. Nonsyndromic canine agenesis combined with other types of tooth agenesis has occasionally been described in the literature but isolated cases are rarely observed. This report presents an isolated case of maxillary permanent canine agenesis in a healthy 18-year-old female patient and a literature review on the prevalence, etiology, and differential diagnosis of the … Show more

“…Additionally, Case 3 also showed microdontia in the form of maxillary peg shaped laterals. The treatment approach for hypodontia is specific to each case and is dependent on many factors such as the number of teeth missing, the condition and longevity of the primary predecessor, size and number of teeth remaining in both arches, the occlusal status, facial growth patterns, patient and parent preferences including the financial aspect of the treatment options offered [4,16,17]. A multidisciplinary approach is highly recommended which helps in the short and long-term treatment planning.…”

“…Mild to moderate hypodontia may occur due to early irradiation of tooth germs, various kinds of trauma of the dental region, Down syndrome, and syndromes associated with cleft lip or palate. [ 7 ] The etiology of tooth agenesis has generated much debate. It supposed to be multifactorial involving several factors such as genetics; environment; or combination of environmental and genetic factors might contribute to the occurrence of dental agenesis.…”
