Prevalence of Dental Anomalies in Saudi Orthodontic Patients

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies and study the association of these anomalies with different types of malocclusion in a random sample of Saudi orthodontic patients. Materials and methods:Six hundred and two randomly selected pretreatment records including orthopantomographs (OPG), and study models were evaluated. The molar relationship was determined using pretreatment study models, and OPG were examined to investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies among the sample. Results:The most common types of the investigated anomalies were: impaction followed by hypodontia, microdontia, macrodontia, ectopic eruption and supernumerary. No statistical significant correlations were observed between sex and dental anomalies. Dental anomalies were more commonly found in class I followed by asymmetric molar relation, then class II and finally class III molar relation. No malocclusion group had a statistically significant relation with any individual dental anomaly.

Association between dental anomalies and malocclusion in Brazilian orthodontic patients

“…These associations could affect orthodontic treatment planning. To date, no study has verified this association in Brazilian orthodontic patients, (3). Therefore, the aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies in non-syndromic orthodontic patients and verify their association with different malocclusions.…”

“…They exhibit several degrees of severity, from chronological delay in odontogenesis to complete absence of a tooth germ, also comprising deviations in morphology and position of the teeth in the arch (2). Orthodontic patients have higher rates of anomalies compared to the general population, which interfere greatly with the diagnosis and orthodontic treatment planning (3).…”

“…Hypodontia, hyperdontia, microdontia, macrodontia, taurodontism, transposition, impaction and ectopia have been reported in orthodontic populations (3,(5)(6)(7)9,12,13). There is no consensus among the various studies regarding the data on prevalence, distribution by gender, age and site of occurrence of the anomalies (5,6,13), highlighting the need for further reports in different populations.…”

Unilateral maxillary distomolar with multiple abnormalities in a young patient: A rare case report with mini systemic review

“…25 A study with 602 randomly selected pre-treatment OPG records found that ST was among the most commonly registered dental anomalies. 26 A study was conducted at Ras Al Khaimmah, UAE, with 2925 panoramic radiographs from non-syndromic patients; it was found that paramolars and distomolars were registered (two cases for each ST) for each among 6.25%. 27 Hence, the aim of the present article was to report a case with a unilateral maxillary distomolar in a patient with multiple abnormalities and the possible treatment options and present a mini review on supernumerary distomolar teeth.…”

The prevalence of the dento-maxillofacial abnormalities in the schoolchildren in Leningrad region

“…Анализ распространенности и тяжести ЗЧА является важным этапом в процессе планирования профилактических и лечебных мероприятий [1,2]. Важно иметь представление о частоте встречаемости ЗЧА не только в стране, но и каждом отдельном регионе, поскольку эти данные могут значительно варьировать в зависимости от географической принадлежности [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”
