Dental anomalies are variations in tooth development affecting number, size, shape, or structure, stemming from genetic or environmental factors, including extra teeth (hyperdontia), missing teeth (hypodontia/oligodontia), malformed teeth (like peg laterals, fused teeth, or dilacerated roots), or eruption issues, leading to aesthetic problems, malocclusion, and functional difficulties requiring varied treatments like orthodontics or restorations.
