Agnathia is an unusual and uncommon medical problem that is usually asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally, but can lead to serious consequences if not promptly diagnosed and treated. In this article we will look at the main symptoms of agnathia, the causes of its occurrence, diagnosis and treatment.
Agnathia is a developmental anomaly of the jaw in which it is formed from two or more segments. This disease occurs in a small number of people, but when detected, it requires immediate dental intervention. People suffering from agnathia may have extremely awkward teeth alignment, which can lead to various dental diseases such as caries or periodontitis.
The causes of agnathia can be various factors, such as congenital pathology of the tooth germ, intrauterine infections, trauma, genetic factors, etc. Even if the patient does not have any visible symptoms, he may be at risk for developing agnathia. The risk of the disease is higher in people with metabolic disorders, connective tissue disorders and other serious diseases.
Signs of agnathia include abnormal tooth growth and changes in jaw shape.
