Developmentally missing teeth may also be the result of numerous independent pathological mechanisms that can affect the orderly formation of the dental lamina, failure of a tooth germ to develop at the optimal time, the lack of necessary space imposed by a malformed jaw, and a genetically determined disproportion between the tooth mass and the jaw size. Clinically, hypodontia in the permanent dentition, excluding the third molars, is found in 3- 10% of the population. Hypodontia is more frequently found in Asians and Native Americans.

Most of the patients who report with anodontia needs to be tested for Ectodermal dysplasia and other syndromes for exclusion
