3. LOCAL FACTORS
1.
Anomalies of number
a) Supernumerary teeth.
b) Missing teeth (congenital absence or loss
due to trauma,caries,etc.)
2. Anomalies of tooth size.
3. Anomalies of tooth shape.
4. Abnormal labial frenum.

5. 1) Anomalies of number
A) Supernumerary teeth:
Supernumerary teeth is a teeth, which is various in
size , shape and location when compared to the normal
teeth.
B)Supplemental teeth :
Supplemental teeth is a teeth ,which is closely
resembles the particular group of teeth.
This is most commonly seen in premolar region
www.indiandentalacademy.com
and lateral incisor region.
6. Supernumerary teeth result from disturbances
during the initiation and proliferation stages of
dental development.
Supernumerary teeth occur most commonly
in the maxilla..
The most commonly seen supernumerary
teeth is mesiodens.
Mesiodens is a small tooth with a cone
shaped crown and short root.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. It is seen between the two maxillary central
incisors.
The presence of teeth obviously has great
potential to disturb normal occlusal development.
The frequency of other supernumerary teeth are
paramolars and distomolars.
Multiple supernumerary teeth are seen in
cleidocranial dysplasia.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. Cleidocranial dysplasia
Cleidocranial dysplasia is characterized by
- Abnormalities of skull,teeth,jaws and
shoulder girdle.
-The defect of shoulder girdle ranges from
complete absence of clavicle to partial
absence.
- Multiple unerupted supernumerary teeth is
also present in this condition.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. B)Congenitally Missing Teeth
Congenital absence of teeth results from
disturbances during the intial stages of tooth
formation .
Anodontia – Total absence of teeth
Oligodontia - Absence of many but not all the
teeth.
Oligodontia showed a tendency for
delayed tooth formation*.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
(* Angle orthodontist vol 63 No:1,1993).
13. Ectodermal dysplasia
Ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by
soft , smooth , thin and dry skin with partial
or complete absence of sweat glands.
The sebaceous glands and hair follicles are
absence.
The bridge of the nose are depressed.
This also manifested with anodontia or
Oligodontia.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. Frequency of absence(Missing)
Maxillary and Mandibular third molars
Maxillary lateral incisors
Mandibular second premolar
Mandibular incisors
Maxillary second premolar
Congenitally missing teeth can lead to
spacing between teeth and aberrant
swallowing pattern.

17. 2)Anomalies of Tooth Size :
A tooth size is determined by heredity .
Anomalies of Tooth Size
Microdontia
Macrodontia
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. True generalized microdontia is usually
associated with pituitary dwarfism.
True generalized macrodontia is usually
associated with pituitary gigantism.
The most commonly localized microdontia
involves the maxillary lateral incisors (peglaterals).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. 3)Anomalies of Tooth Shape :
Intimately related to tooth size is tooth shape.
Abnormal shaped teeth predispose to
malocclusion.
Presence of maxillary-‘Peg lateral’ incisors
spacing will often occur in the maxillary anterior
segment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21.
Abnormally large cingulum on the
maxillary incisor (Talons cusp) or heavy
marginal ridge can force the teeth labially and
prevent the establishment of a normal
overbite-overjet relationship.
Mandibular second premolar also shows
great variation in shape & size. It may have
an extra lingual cusp , which usually serve to
increase the mesiodistal dimension of the
tooth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22.
Anomalies of shape can also occur as a result of
amelogenesis imperfecta,
hypoplasia,
gemination,
dens in dente,
odontomas ,
fusion and
congenital syphilitic aberration such as
Hutchinson‘s incisors and mulberry molars.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. Dilaceration is a condition characterized by
an abnormal angulation between the crown
and root of a tooth .Dilacerated teeth fails
to erupt to normal level and can cause
malocclusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. 4) Abnormal Labial Frenum :
Abnormalities of the maxillary labial frenum are
associated with a midline diastema .
At birth frenum is attached to the alveolar ridge
with fibers running into the incisive papilla. The teeth
erupts and as alveolar bone is deposited, the frenum
attachment migrates superiorly with the alveolar ridge.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. Diastema Due to Abnormal Frenum
Age Incidence
of Diastema
6 97%
6-7 88%
10-11 40%
12-18 7%
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. 5)Premature loss of Deciduous teeth :
Deciduous teeth are the space savers for the
permanent teeth.
They also maintaining the opposing teeth at the
proper occlusal level.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. 6)Prolonged retention of deciduous teeth :
Whatever the reason for the prolonged retention of
deciduous teeth, they have a significant impact on the
dentition.
Whichever deciduous teeth may be retained beyond
the usual eruption age of their permanent successor is
capable of causing buccal / labial or Palatal / Lingual
deflection.
Impacted in the maxillary arch might lead to the
permanent tooth erupting is a cross bite,which might be
difficult to treat at a later stage.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. 7 )Delayed eruption of permanent teeth:
Reasons:
1.Early loss of adjacent primary teeth with a
consequential flaring or spacing between erupted teeth
may lead to decreased space availability for eruption of
the succedaneous teeth.
2. Early loss of primary tooth leading to mucosal
thickening over the succedaneous tooth .
3. Early loss of the primary tooth might cause excessive
bone deposition over the succedaneous tooth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. 7. Presence of deciduous root fragment that are not
resorbed can block these erupting tooth or may deflect it
preventing its eruption in an ideal location.
8. Presence of ankylosed deciduous teeth,these might not
get resorbed causing a delay in the eruption of the
permanent tooth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. 9. The succedaneous tooth might be congenitally
missing delaying the loss of the primary tooth.
10. In certain endocrine disorders the eruption of
permanent teeth might be delayed.
Eg: hypothyroidism.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. 8)Abnormal Eruptive path :
1.Tooth bud facing and/or placed or displaced from its
ideal location.
2.Presence of a supernumerary tooth may divert a tooth
from its eruptive path.
3. Presence of odontomas or a cyst tumour may divert
it if not altogether prevent its eruption.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Abnormal Eruptive path(cont..)
4. Un resorbed or retained deciduous teeth might
force a tooth to erupt along a path of least resistance
rather than in place of the deciduous tooth.
5. Retained root fragments may deflect an erupting
permanent tooth.
6.Arch length deficiencies or excess of tooth material
may cause one or more teeth to deviate from their
eruptive path.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Ectopic Eruption :
Malposition of a permanent tooth bud can
lead to eruption in wrong place.This condition is
called ectopic eruption.
Most likely to occur in the eruption of
maxillary first molars.
Ecotopic eruption may generally be
considered a manifestation of arch length
deficiency.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. 9)Ankylosis :
Ankylosis is the condition which involves
the union of the root or part of a root directly to
the bone, without the intervening periodontal
membrane.
Ankylosis or partial ankylosis is
encountered relatively frequently during the 6 to
12 year age period.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46.
Ankylosis of teeth is more commonly
associated with certain infections, endocrine
disorders and congenital disorders.
Ex : Cleidocranial dysostosis , but there are
rare occurrences.
Ankylosis may be due to past history of
trauma.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. 10)Dental caries
Dental caries which leads to the
premature loss of a deciduous or
permanent tooth subsequent drifting of
contiguous teeth ,abnormal axial
inclination,over eruption and bone loss.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. 11)Improper dental restorations :
Due to improper dental restoration under
contoured proximal restoration can lead to a
significant decrease in the arch length especially in the
deciduous molars.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Conclusion
Proper knowledge of preventive and
interceptive orthodontics can definitely reduce the
occurrence of malocclusion ,if not prevent them
from occuring.
