        abstract = {According to Ayurveda, organ development during embryogenesis is influenced by both maternal (Matruja) and paternal (Pitruja) genetic factors. Teeth (Danta) are considered to arise primarily from Pitruja Bhava, making them susceptible to defects in the paternal Beeja (sperm). This aligns with modern understanding of XY chromosomal disorders originating from genetic abnormalities in either parent. The concept of Danta Sharir is extensively detailed in Kashyapa Samhita, which describes 32 adult teeth—eight permanent (Sakritjata) and 24 secondary (Divija). Sushruta classifies teeth under Ruchakasthi (a bone type) and outlines dental disorders (Dantagata Rogas). Ayurvedic classification of teeth closely parallels modern dental science, reflecting Ayurveda’s advanced understanding of dental anatomy.},
