Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies in paediatric patients attending the Department of Paediatric Dentistry, Kırıkkale University Faculty of Dentistry.
Materials and Methods: The study consisted a sample of 9173 patients, aged between 0-15 years, referred to our clinic between 1 August 2011-1 August 2012. The patients were examined clinically and radiographically in terms of the number, size, shape, structure and color anomalies.
Results: One hundred sixty six children (1.8%) were found to have developmental dental anomalies. The most frequently observed anomalies were congenitally missing teeth (0.52%) and supernumerary teeth (0.27%). Anomalies such as dens invaginatus (0.03%), dentinogenesis imperfecta (0.02%) and dilaceration (0.02%) were encountered more rarely.
Conclusion: Early diagnosis and determination of the prevalence of dental anomalies in children is important in the treatment planning.
