Abstract

Missing of one or more teeth is most common developmental malformation, but absence of multiple teeth is much rare. Oligodontia (developmental absence of 6 or more teeth) can be isolated or as a part of syndrome. The present case report describes two cases of multiple agenesis of permanent teeth which are non-familial and with no apparent systemic abnormalities.
