Congenitally missing teeth is a common feature for the third molars. However, missing teeth, macrodontia and radiculomegaly occurring in a single patient is very rare. This article describes a case of agenesis of mandibular second premolars, radiculomegaly with dilacerations of a canine tooth together with elongated roots of other canines. All these features had been discerned through diagnostic radiographs taken during a routine treatment planning.
先天性缺牙是第三磨牙的常见特征。然而，单个患者同时出现缺牙、巨牙症和牙根粗大的情况非常罕见。本文描述了一例下颌第二前磨牙先天性缺失、一颗尖牙牙根粗大并伴有牙根弯曲以及其他尖牙牙根过长的病例。所有这些特征都是在常规治疗计划期间拍摄的诊断性X光片中发现的。
