severe anodontia

[netters]

I'm asking this question because I have three boys with severe anodontia. My two oldest have 16 missing teeth eight on top and eight on the bottom. My 3rd son is only missing one, but has sever over crowding. This isn't very common is it? especially in siblings. I am seeking help with UCSF. I'm also a surgical assistant of three Oral and Maxiofacial surgeons. Can you give me any info on this subject.
Thank you,
Concerned Mom ???

Dear netters:

Most of the good information on anodontia and oligodontia is in the dental journals.

You should try to visit the PubMed web site and type the key words, such as anodontia.

I found many articles at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Display&dopt=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=15835422
