| Research Abstract |
General dentists often experience the suspected case caused by genetical disorder. Because of the lack of knowledge about genetical disorder, many patients with oral genetical diseases are treated for unknown reasons.
The early diagnosis and decision on courses of treatment are very important for patients with oral genetic diseases to maintain their quality of life.
The aim of the present study was to identify the mutations responsible for oligodontia. Oligodontia designates the congenital absence of 6 or more permanent teeth, excluding the third molar.
