Teeth agenesis is an anomaly of frequent observation with a familiar heredity transmission pattern. In a frequency order the most common agenetic teeth are: third molars, upper lateral incisors and second lower bicuspids. Of exceptional rarity is the absence of second molars. Our observation confirm the heredity pattern of congenitally missing permanent teeth; in this case anomaly showed variable expressivity and different degree of severity.
