Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of dental anomalies and pathologies detected in children between the ages of 4 and 12 years and their distribution according to gender and location. Panoramic radiographs of 3112 patients between the ages of 4-12 years who presented to the pediatric dental clinic within 1 year were retrospectively analyzed for dental anomalies and pathologic lesions. Dental anomalies were classified according to the subheadings of number, size, shape, and condition anomalies. The data obtained were classified according to gender, age groups, and jaws and their relationships were statistically evaluated. Among the patients aged between 4 and 12 years; 1504 were girls (48.3%) and 1608 were boys (51.7%). The prevalence of dental anomalies and pathologic lesions was higher in boys. The highest prevalence was observed in 10-year-old boys (1.24%) and the lowest in 4-year-old girls (0.20%). The findings of microdontia in the maxilla and hypodontia in the mandible were statistically significantly higher in girls. In boys, hyperdontia in the maxilla and pathological lesion findings in the mandible was significantly higher. In the age group of 10 years, hypodontia, dental anomalies and pathologic lesions in boys were statistically higher than in girls (p < 0.05). In this study, hypodontia was the most common and taurodontism was the least common. In pediatric patients, radiographic examinations should be performed in a complete and accurate manner.

4-12 YAŞ ARASI ÇOCUKLARIN PANORAMİK RADYOGRAFİLERİNDE GÖRÜLEN DENTAL ANOMALİLER VE PATOLOJİK LEZYONLAR: BİR RETROSPEKTİF ÇALIŞMA

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuk diş kliniğine başvuran 4-12 yaş aralığındaki çocuklarda tespit edilen dental anomalilerin ve patolojilerin sıklığını, cinsiyete ve yerlerine göre dağılımlarını belirlemektir. 1 yıl içinde pedodonti kliniğine başvuran 4-12 yaş aralığında 3112 hastanın panoramik radyografileri, dental anomali ve patolojik lezyon açısından retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Dental anomaliler; sayı, boyut, biçim ve durum anomalilerinin alt başlıklarına göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler; cinsiyet, yaş grupları ve çenelere göre sınıflandırılarak ilişkileri istatiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmaya dahil olan 4-12 yaşları arasındaki hastaların; 1504'ü kız (%48.3) ve 1608'i erkektir (%51.7). Dental anomali ve patolojik lezyon prevalansı; erkek çocuklarında daha yüksektir. En yüksek vaka prevalansı 10 yaş erkek çocuklarında (%1.24) görülürken; en düşük vaka prevalansı 4 yaş kız çocuklarında (%0.20) tespit edilmiştir. Kız çocuklarında; maksilladaki mikrodonti ve mandibuladaki hipodonti bulguları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur. Erkek çocuklarda ise; maksillada hiperdonti, mandibulada patolojik lezyon bulguları anlamlı şekilde yüksek tespit edilmiştir. 10 yaş grubunda erkek çocuklarda görülen hipodonti, dental anomali ve patolojik lezyonlar kız çocuklarına göre istatiksel olarak yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Bu çalışmada en sık hipodonti, en az taurodontizm görülmüştür. Çocuk hastalarda; radyografik incelemeler, eksiksiz ve doğru bir tedavi planında büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Anomalilerin ve patolojik lezyonların erken teşhisi, oluşabilecek komplikasyonların önüne geçebilir.
