Atlantooccipital Ligament (AOL)

The association between Ponticulus Posticus and Dental Agenesis: a retrospective study

OBJECTIVE:
Neural tube defects may increase the risk of an abnormal development of skull, vertebral column and teeth formation, including dental agenesis in non syndromic patients. The association between the presence of a congenital Dental Agenesis (DA) and the Atlantooccipital Ligament (AOL) calcification, known as "Ponticulus Posticus" (PP), as possible links can be investigated.
