Abstract
Mesiodens are the supernumerary teeth present in the midline of the maxilla between the two central incisors. The present study seeks to investigate the prevalence of mesiodens among children in Balidih, India. The study was a retrospective collection of data to evaluate the prevalence of mesiodens among 3495 children attending the Free Dental Camp Under Indian Dental Association, Bokaro from 2015 to 2018, aged between five to fourteen years. Test of association was done using Pearson’s Chi Square test and Cramer’s V. The results showed that the prevalence of mesiodens was 0.60% in the observed population. Males were significantly (P<0.05) affected approximately 0.80% while females were 0.30% of the total screened population. Significantly (P<0.05) higher children from the ages of ten to fourteen years (1.00%) presented with mesiodens than five to nine years (0.40%). The present study gives an insight into the prevalence of mesiodens among school going children of Balidih, Jharkhand, India.
