Triplets with Bilateral Palatally Displaced Canines in Association with Third Molar Agenesis: An Example of Biologically Related Dental Anomaly Patterns?
This case series shows male triplets with similarly positioned palatally displaced canines and agenesis of third molars. It supports findings reported previously in the literature suggesting a genetic origin for the palatally displaced canine and other dental anomalies which may be biologically related.
