Tooth agenesis, or hypodontia/oligodontia, refers to the congenital absence of a few teeth without any systemic disorders. Tooth development is a complex process that involves interactions between the oral epithelium and underlying mesenchyme. Perturbation of this process results in tooth agenesis. This disease could be inherited as either an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked trait.
