Abstract

Tooth agenesis is a congenital absence of teeth. It is the most commonly registered developmental anomaly of human dentition. This pathology may affect both the primary and permanent dentition. It occurs separately or in association with another congenital syndromes. This study describes the epidmiology, aetiology, classification and treatment methods of agenesis, based on a review of literature, as well as it presents 3 own cases of this anomaly. Tooth agenesis creates functional and aesthetic problems therefore patients require complex treatment.

Streszczenie

Agenezja zębów jest wadą rozwojową polegającą na braku zawiązków zębów. Należy do najczęstszych wad rozwojowych uzębienia. Dotyczy zarówno zębów mlecznych, jak i stałych. Może występować jako wada izolowana, bądź towarzyszyć różnym zespołom chorobowym. W pracy przedstawiono na podstawie piśmiennictwa epidemiologię, etiologię, klasyfikację i metody leczenia braku zawiązków zębów oraz 3 przypadki hipodoncji pochodzące z materiałów własnych. Pacjenci z agenezją mają wiele problemów funkcjonalnych oraz estetycznych, dlatego powinni być objęci leczeniem kompleksowym.

Key words

tooth agenesis, development disorder

Słowa kluczowe
