THE PREVALENCE OF DENTAL ANOMALIES IN A TURKISH POPULATION

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate
the prevalence of dental anomalies in a Turkish
population according to the gender and age.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was
performed using panoramic radiographs of 2025 patients
(885 males and 1140 females) ranging in age from 9 to
35 (mean age 25.61±10.04) years attending Department
of Oral Radiology, University of Istanbul, Faculty of
Dentistry. These patients were examined to determine the
presence of developmental dental anomalies involving
hypodontia, hyperdontia, microdontia, taurodontism and
other root anomalies. The incidence of these anomalies
were assessed according to the gender and age.
Results: Among the 2025 subjects, a total of 96
individuals (42 males and 54 females) showed at least
one of the selected dental anomalies (4.74%). Tooth
agenesis was the most common dental abnormality
(1.77%) followed by taurodontism (1.18%), hyperdontia
(0.79%), microdontia (0.54%) and root anomalies
(0.44%), respectively.
Conclusion: Tooth agenesis is the most common
developmental dental anomaly in the studied Turkish
population followed by taurodontism.

Türk Toplumunda Dental Anomalilerin Görülme Sıklığı

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk toplumunda dental anomali görülme sıklığının cinsiyet ve yaşa göre araştırılmasıdır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada İstanbul Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş-Çene Radyolojisi Anabilim Dalı’na başvuran, yaşları 9-35 yaş arasında değişen (ortalama yaş: 25.61±10.04) 2025 hastanın (885 erkek ve 1140 kadın) panoramik radyografileri geriye dönük olarak araştırılmıştır. Hastalar hipodonti, hiperdonti, mikrodonti, taurodontizm ve diğer kök anomalileri gibi dental anomalilerin varlığı açısından incelenmiştir. Bu anomalilerin görülme oranları cinsiyet ve yaşa göre değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: 2025 hastanın toplam 96’sının (42 erkek, 54 kadın) incelenen dental anomalilerden en az birine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir (%4.74). en sık gözlenen dental anomali diş eksikliği olup (%1.77) bunu sırasıyla taurodontizm (%1.18), hiperdonti (%0.79), mikrodonti (%0.54) ve diğer kök anomalileri (%0.44) takip etmektedir.Sonuç: Diş eksikliği incelenen populasyonda en sık gözlenen gelişimsel dental anomali olup bunu taurodontizm takip etmektedir
