There are many acquired and inherited developmental abnormalities that alter the size, shape and number of teeth. Individ-
ually, they are rare but collectively they form a body of knowledge with which all dentists should be familiar. The discus-
sion of each condition is short and to the point. Comprehensive reviews of each may be found in any reasonably new text-
book of oral pathology. For those conditions that are inherited (eg: ectodermal dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta and
others) go to: www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ ,it will bookmark as OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man).
