 # Which of the following is not a systemic disorder causing delayed eruption of permanent teeth?
A. Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia
B. Celiac disease
C. Cerebral palsy
D. Ichthyosis


The answer is A. Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia.

Explanation:
Segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia:
This is a localized developmental disorder, not a systemic disorder. It affects the maxilla segmentally, often leading to delayed eruption of teeth in that specific area. However, it is not classified as a systemic disorder.

Celiac disease:
This is a systemic condition that can cause nutritional deficiencies (e.g., calcium, vitamin D), leading to delayed dental development and eruption.

Cerebral palsy:
A systemic neurological disorder that can indirectly delay the eruption of permanent teeth due to associated developmental challenges.

Ichthyosis:
Though primarily a skin disorder, certain severe systemic forms might cause delayed eruption due to associated developmental issues.
