Prevalence of nonsyndromic hypodontia in a south-east Transylvanian region.

Abstract

However, there is no clear evidence whether it is really a change in dentition in Homo Sapiens or a purely hypothetical observation, due to the advanced modern technology used in the diagnosis of dento-maxillary anomalies.
