Hypodontia is a condition where some teeth never develop, so they are missing.
There are different terms depending on how many teeth are missing:
Hypodontia
One or a few teeth are missing (more common).
Oligodontia
Many teeth (six or more) are missing.
Anodontia
All teeth are missing (very rare).
Sometimes, the teeth that do grow can be smaller than usual.
