“…The average number of supernumerary teeth per person was found to be 1.21± 0.415. maxilla, and half of them were mesiodens. This result is similar to previous studies, which reported that mesiodens are the most frequently observed supernumerary teeth, especially in young patients [35][36][37][38]44 .…”

Summary Background/Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of congenital dental number anomalies in the permanent dentition among a group of Turkish children in the Inner Aegean Region of Turkey. Material and Methods: A total of 5377 patients aged 7–9 who visited our clinic for the first time between September 2018 and September 2019 were investigated. The children were examined for tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth using panoramic radiographs taken for various reasons and clinical records reviewed. Dental number anomalies were evaluated according to gender and localization. Descriptive and comparative statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS package software program Version 23. Results: For the study, the data of 1987 patients (947 female, 1040 male) were examined. The tooth agenesis was found in 109 patients (5.5%), the supernumerary teeth were found in 24 patients (1.2%). The prevalence of tooth agenesis was 5% in males, 6% in females. There was no statistical difference between genders (p>0.05). The distribution of tooth agenesis according to jaws and sides by gender was not statistically different (p>0.05). The most commonly missing teeth were mandibular left second premolar (37.6% of patients) and mandibular right second premolar (33% of patients). According to types of teeth and gender, molar tooth agenesis was seen more common in females than males (p<0.05), there was no significant difference in other types of teeth by gender. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth were 1.9% in males, 0.4% in females and the difference between genders was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). All the supernumerary teeth were located in the anterior maxilla, and half of them were mesiodens. Conclusions: Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment choice are very important managing complications associated with congenital dental number anomalies and for differential diagnosis of characteristic syndromes.

“…The prevalence of supernumerary teeth has been reported in non-syndromic patients at a range of 0.3% to 2.7% in Turkey [35][36][37][38] . In the present study, similar to other studies, the prevalence of supernumerary teeth was 1.2%.…”

“…This finding suggest a possible causal link between rare diseases and dental anomalies. Other studies have shown similar prevalence of dental anomalies [22][23][24][25][26]. Furthermore, the obtained results are in line with the commonly accepted finding that developmental anomalies are more common than structural anomalies [27].…”

“…Disruptions and alterations during the initiation, morphogenesis, and histodifferen-tiation phases can lead to the occurrence of DAs (1). Various genetic mutations have been identified as contributing factors in tooth number and shape, impacting molecules within the signaling networks that regulate early tooth morphogenesis (2). Environmental causes include prolonged administration of antimicrobials (e.g., tetracycline) in young children, extended fluoride exposure and poor nutrition.…”

“…Environmental causes include prolonged administration of antimicrobials (e.g., tetracycline) in young children, extended fluoride exposure and poor nutrition. DAs can manifest in diverse ways and can be classified into several categories, including anomalies in number, size, shape, root formation, and matrix deposition and mineralization (1,2). DAs of the permanent dentition, unlike those of the deciduous dentition, can result in complications and subsequent long-lasting damage (2,3).…”

Dental anomalies (DAs) in children refer to conditions affecting the structure, number, shape, and size of teeth. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of these anomalies in both primary and permanent dentitions among two Mexican pediatric populations aged 2-14 years. Additionally, the level of knowledge about DAs among students pursuing a degree in dentistry in both universities was determined. A cross‑sectional study was conducted on children making their first visit to the Pediatric Dental Clinics of the Universities of Nuevo León and San Luis Potosí in México between March and May 2017. The prevalence of DAs was estimated. In addition, a questionnaire comprising 20 closed items regarding DAs was administered to 100 undergraduate students to evaluate their level of knowledge. Ninety-four children (54 boys and 42 girls; mean age 9.73±2.1 years) were included. Twenty-two patients (23.4%) exhibited at least one DA in their primary or permanent teeth. The most common DAs were in size (macrodontia) and structure (enamel hypoplasia). Agenesis occurred three times, and there were two cases of mesiodens. Regarding gender, 10 patients were girls (45.4%), and 12 were boys (54.6%). The prevalence of DAs in permanent teeth (57.5%) was higher than that in primary teeth (42.5%, p=0.031). Only two patients presented DAs in both primary and permanent teeth. No tooth-shaped anomalies were detected. Regarding the level of knowledge among the university students, the percentage of correct answers was 61.6%. Our findings emphasize the importance of encouraging parents to initiate pediatric dental visits early. Additionally, the study highlights the significance of conducting a thorough evaluation of the patients.
