Abstract
This paper reports three cases of familial partial anodontia. These were found through the visit of a 9-year-old girl to our clinic who complained of the absence of the first molars in the maxilla and mandible. A similar absence of teeth was later found in her mother and sister. All these cases showed absence of right and left first molars in the maxilla and mandible, which are the least subject to teeth number anomalies. Familial occurrence, in addition, rendered these cases rare.

Case 3. A 6-year-old girl (younger sister of Case 1). Diagnosis: partial anodontia
