Frequency of missing teeth and reduction of mesiodistal tooth width in Japanese patients with tooth agenesis

ConclusionsCompared to hypodontia, more tooth types exhibited reduced mesiodistal tooth width in oligodontia. Correlations between CMT number and mesiodistal tooth width support the hypothesis that reduction of mesiodistal tooth width are more frequently observed in Japanese oligodontia patients than in Japanese hypodontia patients.
