Oligodontia is a rare congential disorder of dental anomalies that can occur either as an isolated finding or as part of a syndrome. It is defined as agenesis of six or more teeth excluding the third molars. It is commonly seen in permanent than in deciduous dentition. Patients suffering from oligodontia may present with complex problem such as dental and facial disfigurement. Management of those cases generally requires multidisciplinary approach to restore esthetic and function. This paper reports a rare case of oligodontia in an 18 year old adult female patient who has been missing eight permanent teeth excluding the third molars, clinically and radiographically.

ABSTRACT Hypodontia is the term used to describe the developmental absence of one or more primary or permanent teeth, excluding the third molars. It is the most commonly occurring developmental dental anomaly and can be a challenge to manage clinically. Hypodontia can occur in association with syndrome or it may occur in nonsyndromic patient. Bilateral occurrence is common but it is very rare to see two bilateral congenital missing teeth in a nonsyndromic patient. This case report presents a rare occurrence of congenital bilateral missing mandibular second premolars and mandibular lateral incisors in a nonsyndromic patient.

Objective: Tooth agenesis is one of the most common congenital anomalies seen in humans. Although ab¬sence of one or more teeth is common, absence of multiple teeth is rare. Oligodontia is a rare developmental anomaly, involving agenesis of six or more permanent teeth, excluding the third molars. The reported preva¬lence of oligodontia in permanent dentition is 0.14%. Oligodontia can be presented as an isolated condition or as a part of a syndrome. Discussion: The present case report highlights a unique case of non-syndromic oligodontia, with agenesis of four permanent incisors, left permanent canine and right second premolar in the mandibular arch and its management with a novel fixed functional prosthetic appliance. Conclusion: Prosthetic rehabilitation is an urgent need for these kind of patients so that they do not suffer from mastica¬tory and esthetic problems which can eventually lower the self esteem of individuals.

Oligodontia is a condition in which the patient has more than six ageneses, excluding the third molars. Whereas the absence of one tooth is quite common, oligodontia is a rare congenital condition that can happen with or without the syndrome. The condition happens due to disturbances during odontogenesis process. Management of oligodontia is a long-term process, and it involves prosthetic, restorative, and orthodontic treatment to support the oral function and esthetic of the patient. This article aims to report a rare case of agenesis of 13 permanent teeth (excluding third molars) in an 11-year-old girl and her treatment plan.

AbstractDental agenesis is the most common developmental anomaly in humans and is frequently associated with several other oral abnormalities. In the literature, some terms are used to describe missing teeth like Oligodontia, Anodontia and Hypodontia. Oligodontia is defined as the developmental absence of six teeth or more, excluding third molars. It can be isolated or as a part of a syndrome such as in ectodermal dysplasia. The present case describes agenesis of permanent teeth which are non-familial and with no apparent systemic abnormalities

ABSTRACT Retention that is a permanent tooth which is unerupted more than a year after the normal age of eruption is a relatively rare event, except in the case of the third molars and the upper canines. We report the case of a 17 year old female presenting with bilateral mandibular canine impaction. This rare condition usually requires extraction of the involved tooth because orthodontic forces are seldom successful at erupting these teeth into their proper location. Henceforth, the canines were extracted.

AbstractHypodontia is the congenital absence of less than six teeth because of agenesis. Congenital absence of tooth (hypodontia) from the dental arch, may occur with any tooth, most commonly being third molars, however, absence of permanent mandibular canine is rare. The absence of teeth may be unilateral or bilateral. There are reports showing unilateral occurrence of permanent mandibular canines but agenesis of bilateral mandibular canines is not well documented in the literature and comprehensive review of literature shows paucity of data pertaining to this anomaly. Here we report one such rare case of congenitally missing mandibular permanent canines bilaterally.

ABSTRACTHuman coenurosis is a rare zoonotic disease caused by the larvae of Tinea multiceps seen in sheep-rearing countries. We report the case of a 63-year-old male who was referred to our hospital with a working diagnosis of skull base chondrosarcoma. Histopathological examination after surgical excision revealed characteristic feature of coenurus with multiple scolices invaginating from the outer cuticular layer. Coenuri are often mistaken for giant cysticercal cysts and hydatid cysts. Despite its wide prevalence in cattle, only two cases of human coenurosis are reported from India till date. We report the third case from India.

The ocular involvement of the cysticercosis is a rare entity involving eyelids, extraocular muscles, orbit, conjunctiva, anterior chamber, uvea, retina, vitreous and optic nerve. All the extraocular muscles are involved in myocysticercosis. Ultrasonography and Computed tomography are the imaging modalities for evaluation of ocular cysticercosis. The patients can be treated with systemic steroids and albendazole; however surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a rare case of extraocular myocysticercosis in nine years old boy diagnosed on ultrasonography and computed tomography.
