Submit Abstract Register Now

Dental and oral abnormalities may be congenital, developmental, or acquired and may include variations in the normal number, size, morphology, or eruptive pattern of the teeth. Congenital abnormalities are typically genetically inherited abnormalities-cleft lip and cleft palate, hypodontia, etc. developmental abnormalities occur during the formation of the tooth. In contrast, acquired abnormalities result from changes to teeth after normal formation. Every Dental practitioner is very likely to encounter patients having any of these abnormalities. Appropriate research and knowledge of such pathologies is mandatory for correct diagnosis and treatment plan.
