Developmental Defects Affecting Teeth and their Restorative Management

Ajay Gupta

Tooth development or Odontogenesis is a kinetic dependent process mediated via epithelial-mesenchyme interactions between ectomesenchymal cells originating from cephalic neural crest cells and the first pharyngeal arch ectoderm. Developmental disturbances of the teeth June manifest as variations in number, position, size, shape, eruption or structure. The study of dental anomalies is important in order to diagnose and further formulate a better treatment plan for the patient. The main goals of managing developmental abnormalities are early diagnosis and improvement of appearance and function by preserving the dentition and preventing further complications. The present review article explains about various developmental disturbances which occur in the oral cavity.
