Les dents doubles ou congénitalement absentes sont un fait fréquent tant dans la dentition primaire que dans la dentition permanente. La connaissance de ce trait dans la dentition permanente reste encore très pauvre en Afrique. Cette étude décrit les données cliniques chez des jumeaux monozygotes Nigérians. Ceci illustre le côté génétique de ce phénomène comme cela a été rapporté dans des zones développées du globe, mais jamais parmi la population négroïde et indigène Nigériane spécialement dans sa dentition permanente.
Double and congenitally missing teeth are known to be commoner in the primary dentition than the permanent. The knowledge of this trait in the permanent dentition in Africa is still poor. This paper describes the clinical findings in a pair of monozygotic Nigerian twins. This illustrates the claims of genetic basis of such conditions, which have been reported severally in developed parts of the globe but not much among the indigenous Nigerian Negroid population especially involving the permanent dentition.
