1. Anodontia: This is the complete absence of teeth. It is a rare condition
where an individual fails to develop any teeth.
2. Oligodontia: This term is used when an individual has fewer teeth than the
typical dental formula, which is six incisors, two canines, two premolars, and
six molars in the permanent dentition (excluding the third molars or wisdom
teeth). The term "hypodontia" is often used synonymously with oligodontia, but
hypodontia can also refer to a broader range of conditions characterized by the
congenital absence of one or more teeth, whereas oligodontia is more
specifically the absence of six or more teeth.
3. Microdontia: This condition involves teeth that are smaller than normal. It
can affect either the primary or permanent dentition and may involve one tooth
or multiple teeth.
4. Dens in dente: This is a rare developmental anomaly where a tooth forms
within the dental crown of another tooth, typically in the form of a small
tooth-like structure. It is not a condition of tooth number but rather an
abnormality of tooth structure.

A partial pulpotomy, also
known as a Cvek pulpotomy, involves the surgical removal of a small
portion (typically 1-3 mm) of the exposed, inflamed coronal pulp
tissue to preserve the remaining healthy radicular pulp. This
procedure is commonly performed on vital permanent teeth with
complicated crown fractures or traumatic exposures, especially in
young patients with open apices, to allow for continued root
development.

General Medicine
Angiotensinogen is converted to angiotensin II by the action of renin and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, leading to sodium and water retention and an increase in blood pressure.

PeriodonticsThe buccal marginal gingiva receives its main blood supply from the supraperiosteal vessels, which are located above the periosteum (a layer of connective tissue that covers the bone). These vessels are part of the periodontal ligament's blood supply and provide nutrients to the superficial tissues of the gum
