Difodontism

Diphyodontism is a rare genetic disorder in which a person develops both primary and permanent teeth. It is characterized by the presence of baby teeth and the constant growth of permanent teeth. This can lead to various health problems such as tooth decay, infections and dental injuries.

Diphyodontism is a hereditary disease. It can be caused by mutations in genes that control tooth development. These mutations can be caused by various factors, such as exposure to radiation, chemicals or infections.

With diodontism, a person can develop both primary and permanent teeth at the same time. This can cause problems with biting, chewing and speaking. Additionally, having baby teeth can lead to tooth decay and other oral health problems.

Treatment of diodontism can be a complex and lengthy process. Doctors usually remove baby teeth and replace them with permanent ones. Treatment for tooth decay and other oral health problems may also be necessary.

Diphyodontism is a pathology of dental development in humans, in which the rudiments of most teeth arise in the thickness of the dental alveoli, but are preserved and erupt there. The rest of the tooth develops on the jaw in an independent process. The result of this process is an unusual dental system, most of which is located on the upper jaw. Since a person’s first teeth develop at a special stage of intrauterine development, in fraternal twins diphyodentism is more often bilateral, and with identical monozygosity it develops only on one side.
