Heredity is one of the possible factors associated with congenitally missing mandibular incisors. We report four cases--a mother and three daughters--in an attempt to examine this hypothesis. Different treatment modalities have been used to treat malocclusions stemming from this problem. The treatment philosophy of consolidating mandibular spaces and obtaining a stable occlusion, thereby preventing the removal of maxillary teeth or the use of a mandibular prosthesis, is presented.
遗传是与先天性下颌切牙缺失相关的可能因素之一。我们报告了4例病例——一位母亲和三个女儿——以检验这一假设。针对由此问题引发的错牙合畸形，已采用了不同的治疗方式。本文提出了巩固下颌间隙并获得稳定咬合，从而避免拔除上颌牙齿或使用下颌修复体的治疗理念。
