Prevalence of Dental Developmental Anomalies in Patients Attending a Faculty of Dentistry in Ajman, United Arab Emirates

“…The prevalence of taurodontism (4.1%) and dilaceration (61.4%) present in this study is significantly higher compared to the conducted studies in Saudi Arabia [6,7]. The discrepancy in the frequency of taurodontism and dilaceration was also seen in comparison with the studies made on Indian population [4,10], in Iran [1] and Pakistan [11].…”

“…Patil et al [10] frequency for missing third molars (12.4%) was significantly lower compared to this present study. The prevalence of ectopic eruption in this current study accounted for (15.5%) with the majority affecting maxillary canines (12.9%), a percentage which is noticeably higher than the studies done on Saudi population (7.6%) [6], 0.3% [7] and 5% [16]. A previous research [6] showed a similar finding as maxillary canines was the most affected tooth in ectopic eruption (2.2%).…”

“…Numerous published studies and researches have discussed the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies; however, the outcome of each single study have been heterogeneous and inconsistent due to the variety of ethnic & race groups, different diagnostic criteria used, and sampling method [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The etiology of these different types of developmental dental anomalies is not homogeneous in nature [6]. The complexity of the etiology of dental anomalies includes: genetic factors, etiological events during prenatal and postnatal fetal development, pathological and environmental factors [6,8,9].…”

These different types of dental anomalies are frequently seen in the dental clinic.…”

Prevalence of hypodontia of permanent dentition in a sample of orthodontic patients In Erbil City: An orthopantomograph study

“…geographic differences. 25,26 Hypodontia was more frequently found in females with no statistical difference, and this is agreeing with several studies, 13,[16][17][18]20,21,27 while Bäckman and Wahlin found significant difference between genders. 28 The higher prevalence of hypodontia in females may be due to biological differences and higher demands to aesthetic by females that make more orthodontic treatment need.…”
