A RARE CASE OF HYPO-HYPERDONTIA WITH THYROID DISORDER

Abstract

Hypo-hyperdontia is an extremely rare mixed numerical dental abnormality with the presence of supernumerary teeth and absence of the teeth concomitantly in the same individual. Although its etiology is unknown, hypo-hyperdontia may appear as a result of genetic or possible environmental factors. This report presents the first case for posterior hypo-hyperdontia with distodens and absent premolar. Furthermore, it is the second case report in the literature for hypo-hyperdontia with a thyroid disorder.
