Radiology1. Anodontia: This is the complete absence of teeth. It is a rare condition
where an individual fails to develop any teeth.
2. Oligodontia: This term is used when an individual has fewer teeth than the
typical dental formula, which is six incisors, two canines, two premolars, and
six molars in the permanent dentition (excluding the third molars or wisdom
teeth). The term "hypodontia" is often used synonymously with oligodontia, but
hypodontia can also refer to a broader range of conditions characterized by the
congenital absence of one or more teeth, whereas oligodontia is more
specifically the absence of six or more teeth.
3. Microdontia: This condition involves teeth that are smaller than normal. It
can affect either the primary or permanent dentition and may involve one tooth
or multiple teeth.
4. Dens in dente: This is a rare developmental anomaly where a tooth forms
within the dental crown of another tooth, typically in the form of a small
tooth-like structure. It is not a condition of tooth number but rather an
abnormality of tooth structure.

Oral medicineWhile hypertension can have various health implications, it is not typically
associated with delayed wound healing. In contrast, malignancy, diabetes, and
infection are known to impair the healing process.

Oral Surgery Diabetes affects wound healing and immune response. After surgery, stress and altered eating patterns can impact blood glucose levels. Monitoring and adjusting the insulin dosage as necessary is critical to prevent complications such as infection or delayed healing. Postoperative bleeding is important but secondary to glycemic control in diabetics.

PhysiologyThe primary mechanism by which gastric acid secretion is regulated is through the feedback loop involving the pH of the stomach content. Low pH inhibits further acid secretion by decreasing the release of gastrin and the responsiveness of parietal cells to gastrin.

Oral PathologyX-rays are generated when a stream of electrons traveling from the tungsten filament is suddenly stopped by its impact on the anodic tungsten target.
