“…A higher female prevalence of tooth agenesis was found in the present study, similar to previous reports, indicating more missing teeth in females than in males [ 11 , 12 ]. A much higher prevalence of tooth agenesis (59%) was detected in the maxillary arch compared with the mandibular arch (41%), similar to reports by Alsoleihat [ 24 ], Muller [ 26 ], Mani [ 27 ], and Tunis [ 28 ]. This can partially be explained by the different growth and development of the maxilla compared with the mandible [ 28 ].…”

(1) Background: Tooth agenesis is one of the most common developmental dental anomalies often affecting the maxillary incisors area and premolar regions. (2) Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of permanent tooth agenesis and the associated dental abnormalities among orthodontically treated children. (3) Materials and Methods: This study was carried out utilizing 3000 pretreatment records of children who underwent orthodontic treatment, 1780 (59%) females and 1220 (41%) males, aged 10–25 years (mean age 15 years). Tooth agenesis and other dental anomalies were surveyed using their panoramic radiographs, according to gender, pattern, and location. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 using t-test or Chi-Square tests. (4) Results: The total number of missing teeth, excluding third molars, was 518 (17%) found in 326 (11%) children. The majority were the maxillary lateral incisors, which was 176 teeth (34%) (p < 0.05). Of them, 111 (63%) were in females, and 65 (37%) were in males. The second most common missing tooth was mandibular second premolars, which was 137 teeth (26%), followed by missing 73 (14%) maxillary second premolars. Impacted teeth had the highest associated dental anomaly prevalence (14.3%), while transposition showed the lowest anomaly prevalence (0.5%). (5) Conclusions: A prevalence of 11% for tooth agenesis was detected in this study. More teeth were missing in the maxilla compare with the mandible. A significant association was found between missing maxillary lateral incisors and missing premolars (p < 0.05). Associated dental anomalies included an increased number of peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors, palatally displaced and impacted maxillary canines, ectopic teeth, and infra-occluded (submerged) primary second molars.

“…Impacted teeth were the second most frequently found anomaly. Likewise, they were most frequent anomaly in studies by Sella Tunis ( 25 ), Roslan ( 11 ) and Lagan ( 26 ). The frequency of patients with impaction in the study of Prskalo et al ( 27 ) – 4.71%, performed on the general Croatian population, was very similar to our results.…”

Aim The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the frequency of hypodontia, hyperdontia, invagination, impaction, dilacerations, peg-shaped lateral incisors, taurodontism and short or blunt and narrow or pipette-shaped roots in Croatian orthodontic patients. Material and methods 506 orthopantomographs and study casts from 12-16 year-old orthodontic patients treated at the Department of Orthodontics, School of Dental Medicine University of Zagreb were analyzed. Results At least one dental anomaly was present in 24.1% of patients, and more than anomaly in 1.2% of them. The frequency was not significantly different between genders. Hypodontia was the most frequent anomaly with the incidence of 7.5%, followed by teeth impaction with the incidence of 6.3%. Conclusion The distribution and the prevalence of anomalies were similar to those described in the general Croatian population.

“…54 The incidence of dental anomalies occurring is low, and their uniqueness can contribute towards human identification too. However, the occurrence of dental anomalies was found to be independent from the sex of an individual, 55 which demonstrates the inability of dental anomalies to be a viable sex estimation method.…”

Sex estimation is an integral part of the forensic human identification process. Determining the sex of an unknown deceased victim helps with the dental profiling process, as only missing persons of the same sex need to be considered for identification. Nowadays, methods that are commonly used in dental sex estimation have either low accuracy or reliability or require complex equipment or tools to perform. Forensic tools for dental sex determination can broadly be categorised into metric, non-metric, and biochemical methods. This paper provides an in-depth review into the existing methods for dental sex estimation and presents the strengths and limitations of each method. It will also briefly discuss prospective developments in the field of dental sex estimation.
