Abstract
Increased asymmetry suggests a breakdown in the rigour of developmental timing in cases with simple hypodontia. In concert with increased frequencies of other growth issues in such cases, such as side differences in size and morphology, hypodontia is best viewed as a symptom of an anatomically broad relaxation of developmental canalization between homologous structures, not an isolated dental feature.
