Non-syndromic concomitant hypohyperdontia in a family -a rare case report

ABSTRACT

The simultaneous occurrence of hypodontia and supernumerary teeth in the same individual is termed 'concomitant hypo-hyperdontia'. There appears to be a correlation between concomitant hypo-hyperdontia and some syndromes, but this anomaly is very rare in the general population. Its etiology is still obscure. Very few cases have been reported in the literature of this condition. Presented here is a rare case of simultaneous presence of supernumerary teeth [distodens/retromolar] and missing teeth in a family
