Craniofacial and Dental Developmental Defects

Abstract

Although exfoliation of primary teeth and the subsequent eruption of the permanent successors usually occur in a systematic fashion, there are numerous conditions that can impact this developmental process. These conditions can be broadly grouped into the following categories:

  1. 1.

    Environmental factors

  2. 2.

    Genetic conditions

  3. 3.

    Endocrine conditions

  4. 4.

    Immunological conditions

  5. 5.

    Gestational factors

The mechanisms through which these conditions affect tooth eruption are diverse, and the diagnosis and management can be quite challenging for the oral health-care provider. These factors and conditions will be examined and material provided on clinical presentation and treatment options. Finally, where possible, each hereditary condition is identified by its OMIM number so that the reader can easily obtain additional information.
