Preferred Label : Malposition of teeth with or without hypodontia/oligodontia;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Alternative titles and symbols : Ectopic eruption of teeth;
Description : Malpositioning, or ectopic placement, of teeth is believed to result from a disturbance
of the tooth developmental structure. Various forms of the disorder tend to be associated
with one another and with hypodontia. It is important to recognize any associations
of tooth anomalies as early diagnosis of developmental disturbance in a single tooth
may reveal a potential risk of future position or eruption disturbances of other teeth
and thus allow early intervention (Bjerklin et al., 1992).;
