This study presents a radiologically confirmed case of an unerupted left maxillary canine associated with the absence of an alveolus for the left maxillary first molar and incisors in a dog skull from early medieval Wolin. This study aimed to determine whether the observed absence of teeth resulted from congenital agenesis, developmental arrest, ante-mortem loss, or post-depositional processes. Radiographic examination revealed a fully formed but unerupted canine, while the M1 region exhibited a smooth bony surface without reactive remodeling, periapical radiolucencies, or signs of ante-mortem tooth loss. Differential diagnosis did not support canine agenesis, ante-mortem loss, or taphonomic damage as primary explanations. The findings most strongly support a congenital or very early developmental origin of the observed alterations. The estimated age of the individual (7\u201310 years) and the absence of secondary pathological changes suggest that these anomalies did not significantly impair masticatory function. Owing to the single-case nature of the material, broader population-level inferences cannot be made. This case underscores the methodological importance of radiographic imaging in archeological dental research and suggests that alveolar absence should not be automatically equated with impaired survival or poor health in this individual.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16081219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,16]],"date-time":"2026-04-16T14:05:36Z","timestamp":1776348336000},"page":"1219","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multiple Dental Agenesis with an Impacted Maxillary Canine in an Early Medieval Dog (Canis lupus familiaris) from Wolin, Poland\u2014A Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0033-6829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Baranowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Anatomy and Zoology, Faculty of Biotechnology and Animal Sciences, West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Klemensa Janickiego 33, 71-270 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1468-4664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Grocholewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interdisciplinary Dentistry, Pomeranian Medical University, al.
