Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome

Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder, which affects the development of the teeth, eyes, and abdominal region. Axenfeld–Rieger syndrome is part of the so-called iridocorneal or anterior segment dysgenesis syndromes, which were formerly known as anterior segment cleavage syndromes, anterior chamber segmentation syndromes or mesodermal dysgenesis.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.

See Microdontia and Chemotherapy

Cleft lip and cleft palate

A cleft lip contains an opening in the upper lip that may extend into the nose.

See Microdontia and Cleft lip and cleft palate

Coffin–Siris syndrome

Coffin–Siris syndrome (CSS), first described in 1970 by Dr Grange S. Coffin and Dr E. Siris, is a rare genetic disorder that causes developmental delays and absent fifth finger and toe nails.

See Microdontia and Coffin–Siris syndrome

Crown (dental restoration)

In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant.

See Microdontia and Crown (dental restoration)

Dental composite

Dental composite resins (better referred to as "resin-based composites" or simply "filled resins") are dental cements made of synthetic resins.

See Microdontia and Dental composite

Dentistry

Dentistry, also known as dental medicine and oral medicine, is the branch of medicine focused on the teeth, gums, and mouth.

See Microdontia and Dentistry

Down syndrome

Down syndrome (United States) or Down's syndrome (United Kingdom and other English-speaking nations), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

See Microdontia and Down syndrome

Ectodermal dysplasia

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a group of genetic syndromes all deriving from abnormalities of the ectodermal structures.

See Microdontia and Ectodermal dysplasia

Focal dermal hypoplasia

Focal dermal hypoplasia is a form of ectodermal dysplasia.

See Microdontia and Focal dermal hypoplasia

Growth hormone

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin, also known as human growth hormone (hGH or HGH) in its human form, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and other animals.

See Microdontia and Growth hormone

Growth hormone deficiency

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD), or human growth hormone deficiency, is a medical condition resulting from not enough growth hormone (GH).

See Microdontia and Growth hormone deficiency

Human tooth development

Tooth development or odontogenesis is the complex process by which teeth form from embryonic cells, grow, and erupt into the mouth.

See Microdontia and Human tooth development

Hyperdontia

Hyperdontia is the condition of having supernumerary teeth, or teeth that appear in addition to the regular number of teeth (32 in the average adult).

See Microdontia and Hyperdontia

Hypodontia

Hypodontia is defined as the developmental absence of one or more teeth excluding the third molars. Microdontia and Hypodontia are developmental tooth disorders.

See Microdontia and Hypodontia

Hypopituitarism

Hypopituitarism is the decreased (hypo) secretion of one or more of the eight hormones normally produced by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain.

See Microdontia and Hypopituitarism

Incisor

Incisors (from Latin incidere, "to cut") are the front teeth present in most mammals.

See Microdontia and Incisor

Ionizing radiation

Ionizing radiation (US, ionising radiation in the UK), including nuclear radiation, consists of subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that have sufficient energy to ionize atoms or molecules by detaching electrons from them.

See Microdontia and Ionizing radiation

Macrodontia (tooth)

Macrodontia is a type of localized gigantism in which teeth are larger than normal. Microdontia and Macrodontia (tooth) are developmental tooth disorders.

See Microdontia and Macrodontia (tooth)

Marshall syndrome

Marshall syndrome is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue that can cause hearing loss.

See Microdontia and Marshall syndrome

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a dentistry specialty that addresses the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, as well as misaligned bite patterns.
