Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of mesiodens among 6–15-year-old school going children of Jammu population. Materials and Methods: A total of 700 subjects with age between 6 and 15 years were selected for the study. The subjects were divided into two groups. Group I included 350 males and Group II included 350 females. The subjects were examined to find the presence of mesiodens, their morphological features, and complications associated with their presence. All obtained data were statistically analyzed with SPSS-20.0 version. Results: Mesiodens is prevalent in 8.3% of males and 3.7% of females. The difference between the different genders is found to be statistically significant (P = 0.0109*). Mesiodens is more prevalent in the age group of 6–10 years in both the genders (4.9% and 2.6%, respectively) in comparison to the age group of 11–15 years. The most common morphology of the mesiodens is conical (6.3%) followed by tuberculate (4%) and supplemental (1.7%). Midline diastema is the most common complication associated with mesiodens is midline diastema in both the genders (5.1% of males and 2% of females) followed by impaction of permanent teeth (1.7% of males and 0.9% of females). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the mesiodens has a lower prevalence rate. Males tend to have more prevalence for mesiodens and the most common morphology of mesiodens is conical.
