Dental anomalies in the primary dentition of Turkish children

Abstract: Objective:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of double teeth, hypodontia, microdontia, and hyperdontia of primary teeth in Turkish children.Methods:The study group comprised 1149 children (554 girls, 595 boys). The children were examined in twelve local nurseries in Sivas, Turkiye. Clinical data were collected by four dentists according to Kreiborg criteria; which includes double teeth, hypodontia, microdontia, and supernumerary teeth. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the… Show more

“…[1622] In our survey, Bengali children demonstrated a prevalence of 0.5%, which is lower than the results of Yonezu et al .,[17] who obtained 2.4% in Japanese children, but higher than the results of a Turkish study[23] (0.2%). In this investigation, children with hypodontia exhibited one or two teeth missing, and the maxillary lateral incisors were the most common missing teeth (85.7%).…”

“…Some other dental anomalies, such as impaction, play an effective role in the etiology of different types of malocclusions 5. Anomalies affect the occlusion and length of the jaw arch and their identification, particularly in the anterior region in young adults, and hence, are extremely important in the esthetic and orthodontic treatment plan 6,7…”

“…11,25,26 Absence of multiple teeth in primary dentition can cause impaired growth of alveolar process, constricted arches, deep bite, asymmetry of face, reduced lower facial height, reduced orofacial space, lowered tongue position, high frenal attachment, and speech and masticatory impairment, all of which can have a physiological and psychological impact on the individual. 22,27 Cases with unilateral agenesis (especially of primary maxillary lateral incisors with missing permanent successor) was reported to be associated with dental midline shift and a molar class II relation on the same side of the agenesis. Missing mandibular incisors has been suggested as one of the chief factors affecting mandibular symphysis growth and morphology as found commonly in the Japanese populations.…”
