“Examining the link between tooth agenesis and papillary thyroid cancer: is there a risk factor?” Observational study

ConclusionOur study suggests a possible link between odontogenesis and PTC. The absence of permanent teeth may increase the likelihood of PTC in women. Leveraging the age-7 orthopantomogram to identify women at high risk for PTC within a critical early detection window could significantly improve oral health outcomes and PTC prognosis through proactive interventions.
