Abstract

Aim: In this study, Orthopantomography images of 1500 patients aged 5-14 years who applied to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology for various reasons were examined by retrospective scanning. In patients’ permanent incisors and molars, It is aimed to evaluate the presence of supernumerary teeth, taurodont teeth, missing teeth, wedge lateral, fusion, and gemination.
Material and Method: Congenital tooth deficiencies, supernumerary teeth, taurodontism, fusion, gemination, and wedge lateral teeth identified on panoramic radiographs were evaluated according to the patient’s age, gender, localization, number, and morphology.
Results: Among the patients with dental anomalies, missing teeth were observed in 3.7%, supernumerary teeth in 0.8%, taurodontism in 9.7%, lateral wedge in 2.7%, fusion was observed in only one patient, and no patient with gemination was observed. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rates of each dental anomaly between genders (p>0.05). However, among the age groups, the incidence of dental anomalies in the 10-14 age group (44.7%) was significantly higher than the other age groups (p<0.05). While a statistically significant difference was detected in the rate of missing teeth within age groups (p<0.05), there was no significant difference in the presence of taurodontism, supernumerary teeth, wedge lateral, fusion, and gemination (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Dental anomalies are pretty common and often do not cause symptoms. Therefore, it is essential for dentists to have sufficient knowledge about dental anomalies and to detect the presence of dental anomalies at an early stage.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı’na çeşitli sebeplerle başvuran, 5-14 yaş grubu 1500 hastanın Ortopantomografi görüntüleri retrospektif tarama ile incelenmiştir. Hastaların daimi kesici ve azı dişlerindeki; sürnümerer diş, taurodont diş, diş eksikliği, kama lateral, füzyon ve geminasyon varlığının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Panoramik radyograflarda belirlenen konjenital diş eksiklikleri, sürnümerer dişler, taurodontizm, füzyon, geminasyon, kama lateral dişler hastanın yaş, cinsiyet, lokalizasyon, sayı ve morfolojilerine göre değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Dental anomali tespit edilen hastaların, %3,7 sinde diş eksikliği, %0,8 sinde sürnümerer diş, %9,7 sinde taurodontizm, %2,7 ünde kama lateral, sadece bir hastada füzyon   görülürken geminasyonu olan hastaya rastlanmadı. Cinsiyetler arasında dental anomalilerin her birinin görülme oranlarında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı (p>0,05) Ancak yaş grupları arasında 10-14 yaş grubunda dental anomali görülme oranı (%44,7), anlamlı derecede diğer yaş gruplarından yüksek tespit edildi (p<0,05). Diş eksikliği görülme oranı yaş grupları içinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilirken (p<0,05) taurodontizm, sürnümerer diş, kama lateral, füzyon ve geminasyon varlığında anlamlı bir farklılık yoktu (p>0,05). 
Sonuç: Dental anomaliler oldukça yaygın görülen ve çoğu zaman semptom vermeyen oluşumlardır. Bu yüzden diş hekimlerinin dental anomaliler hakkında yeterli bilgi sahibi olması ve erken evrede dental anomali varlığının tespit edilmesi önemlidir.
