Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Developmental dental disturbances are striking aberrations from the normal size, number, colour, contour and degree of development of teeth. Knowledge of common dental anomalies is essential because these disturbances of teeth contribute to dental problems encountered in regular practice. Aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies in size, shape, number and structure of the teeth in patients. Material and Methods: The study was conducted during a period of 4 months on patients who visited the department of oral medicine and radiology. The patients were clinically examined for various developmental dental anomalies. Statistical analysis used: A descriptive analysis was done. Results: In 7,018(100%) patients, 181 (2.52%) patients presented with developmental dental anomalies, out of which79 (1.12%) had supernumerary teeth, 50(0.71%) microdontia, 40 (0.56%) enamel hypoplasia, five (0.07%) talon’s cusp, two (0.02%) each of fusion, amelogenesis imperfecta, hypodontia and one (0.01%) each of gemination, dens evaginatus were observed. Supernumerary teeth and microdontia were more common. Conclusion: Developmental dental anomalies are commonly seen during routine dental check-up. These anomalies lead to functional, aesthetic and occlusal problems and thus require appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
