Abstract

Aim: This research aimed to ascertain the prevalence of congenitally permanent teeth agenesis, excluding third molars, among children residing in the subregion of Antalya, Turkey.
Material and Methods: A retrospective evaluation of panoramic radiographs from 3234 children (1567 females, 1667 males) aged 6 to 12 years was conducted. Participants with systemic illnesses, extracted teeth, ongoing orthodontic interventions, and congenital abnormalities were excluded. Chi-square test and One Sample Chi-square test were employed for comparing qualitative data.
Results: The study cohort exhibited a mean age of 9.02±1.99 years. The prevalence of congenitally permanent teeth agenesis was determined to be 1.9%, with a distribution of 2.3% among females and 1.6% among males, although no statistically significant disparity was observed between genders (p>0.05). Notably, a statistically significant difference in the occurrence of tooth agenesis was noted among the jaws (p<0.05), with a notably higher incidence observed in the mandibular region compared to the maxillary region (p<0.05). Mandibular second premolars represented the most frequently absent teeth, accounting for 77.9% of cases, a finding deemed statistically significant (p<0.05). Additionally, maxillary second premolars exhibited a notable prevalence of 15%, a proportion significantly higher than that observed for maxillary lateral incisors, mandibular lateral incisors, mandibular central incisors, and left mandibular first premolars (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of congenitally teeth agenesis varies across populations. Timely and accurate diagnosis of agenesis of permanent teeth is essential to facilitate the development of a comprehensive long-term treatment strategy and improve prognostic outcomes in affected individuals.

Antalya İlindeki Çocuk Hastalarda Görülen Konjenital Sürekli Diş Eksikliği Prevalansı’nın Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, Antalya ilinde yaşayan çocuklarda, üçüncü azı dişleri hariç, konjenital sürekli diş eksikliğinin yaygınlığını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: 6-12 yaş arasındaki 3234 çocuğun (1567 kız, 1667 erkek) panoramik radyografileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Sistemik hastalığı olan, dişi çekilmiş, ortodontik tedavi gören ve konjenital anormallikleri olan katılımcılar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Nitel verilerin karşılaştırılmasında ki-kare testi ve tek örneklem ki-kare testi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışma grubunun ortalama yaşı 9,02±1,99 yıl olarak belirlendi. Doğuştan kalıcı diş eksikliği prevalansı % 1,9 olarak saptandı; bu oran kızlarda % 2,3, erkeklerde ise % 1,6 idi, ancak cinsiyetler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi (p>0,05). Çeneler arasında diş eksikliği görülme sıklığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark belirlendi (p<0,05); mandibular bölgede, maksiller bölgeye göre daha yüksek bir insidans gözlendi (p<0,05). Mandibular ikinci küçük azı dişleri, vakaların % 77,9'unu oluşturacak şekilde en sık eksik olan dişler olarak tespit edildi ve bu bulgu istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p<0,05). Ayrıca, maksiller ikinci küçük azı dişleri % 15'lik belirgin bir prevalans gösterdi ve bu oran, maksiller lateral kesici dişler, mandibular lateral kesici dişler, mandibular santral kesici dişler ve sol mandibular birinci küçük azı dişlerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Konjenital diş eksikliği prevalansı, popülasyonlar arasında değişiklik göstermektedir.
Sürekli diş eksikliğinin zamanında ve doğru teşhisi, kapsamlı, uzun vadeli tedavi stratejisinin geliştirilmesini sağlamak ve etkilenen bireylerde prognostik sonuçları iyileştirmek için esastır.
