The primary (baby) teeth generally start coming in by 6 months of age, and all 20 teeth may be in by two and a half years of age. The eruption timing varies greatly. There may be an incomplete formation of the enamel on the teeth (enamel hypoplasia) that makes the teeth more vulnerable to caries (cavities). There may be missing teeth eruptions.
Acro–dermato–ungual–lacrimal–tooth syndrome (ADULT syndrome) is a rare genetic disease. [1] It is an autosomal dominant form of ectodermal dysplasia, a group of disorders that affects the hair, teeth, nails, sweat glands, and extremities. [2] The syndrome arises from a mutation in the TP63 gene. [3]
Diagnosis of Ectodermal Dysplasia is usually made based on the episodes of hyperpyrexia, absence or maturity of sweat glands, absence or type of hair, or the absence and morphology of the teeth [1]. Clinical diagnosis however, is often difficult during early infancy as the above-mentioned manifestations are hard to detect.
The hair, teeth, and skeletal side effects of TDO are lifelong, and treatment is used to manage those effects. A person with TDO has the same life expectancy as a person without TDO. There are no cures or medications used to treat systemic effects of TDO, but medications for the frequent ear and dental infections can be used to manage its symptoms.
Affected infants may be born prematurely.Signs of the disease appear during infancy, typically after a two- to three-month period of normal or slightly slowed development that is followed by a loss of early developmental skills and subsequent developmental delay.

A delay in tooth development may also serve as an indication, whereby the absence of an adult successor slows down the normal resorption of the roots of the baby teeth, which is the progressive loss of parts of the tooth. Misplaced (ectopic) positioning of the adult teeth may be discovered upon examination or a radiograph.
