What type of tooth anomalies may arise from disruptions during proliferation?

Tooth anomalies that arise from disruptions during the proliferation phase typically include changes in size, proportion, and numbers of teeth. Proliferation refers to the stage in tooth development where the dental lamina undergoes rapid cell division, leading to the formation of tooth buds. If this process is interrupted, it can result in various anomalies such as:

• Size anomalies where teeth may be larger or smaller than normal (macrodontia or microdontia).
• Proportion changes, where the relationships between teeth may be altered (e.g., some teeth may be disproportionately small or large in relation to others).
• Numerical anomalies where there may be too many teeth (hyperdontia) or too few (hypodontia or agenesis).

These issues stem directly from disruptions that occur when tooth buds are initially forming, hence affecting their overall size, their relational proportions to one another, and the total count of teeth present. Other options focus on different types of anomalies that may relate to later stages of dental development or different characteristics not directly linked to the proliferation stage.
