“…Females are more affected by tooth agenesis and microdontia, while more supernumerary and large teeth are expected to be found in men (1:1.5 ratio) [1,23]. Previous studies in different world regions offered conflicting results regarding sex distribution of patients with missing teeth [15,16,19]. However, our findings are in agreement with the results of sex distribution in the Serbian population (5.34-6.28%) [6,7].…”

“…The prevalence of patients with tooth impactions in the current study was high (16.5%) in comparison to the results of recent studies (2.6-7.1%) [15,16,28]. The highest rate of tooth impaction was found in maxillary canines, followed by maxillary central incisors, mandibular premolars and second molar.…”

“…The size of our sample was found to be either similar or larger in number of subjects, comparing to recently conducted investigations. Furthermore, the studies with the same purpose, conducted in different parts of the world, reported at least one dental anomaly in 5.4-45.7% of subjects [4,[14][15][16][17]. The prevalence of DDA in the present study was 34.8%, which may be because the sample consisted of patients referred to orthodontic treatment.…”

“…Mesiodens was the most frequently detected supernumerary tooth on panoramic X-rays in the present study. The lower prevalence of mesiodens was reported in Italian non-orthodontic subjects and French orthodontic patients (0.05% and 0.66%) [15,24].…”

Introduction/Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies (DDA) in Serbian orthodontic patients. Methods The sample was composed of 1,001 panoramic radiographs of orthodontic patients, older than seven years, taken as a part of the initial diagnostic procedure at the Clinic of Orthodontics, School of Dental medicine in Belgrade. The DDA that could be diagnosed accurately on panoramic X-rays were documented. Descriptive analysis was used to determine prevalence and sex distribution of DDA. The Pearson χ 2 test and Fisher's exact test were used to compare number of affected teeth in males and females (level of significance was 95%). Results The prevalence of DDA in Serbian orthodontic patients was 34.8% (15.5% males and 19.3% females). Impactions were present in 16.5%, hypodontia in 12.9%, hyperdontia in 4.4%, microdontia in 2.9%, macrodontia in 1.8% and transposition in 0.8% of patients. Maxillary canines were the most frequently impacted teeth. Maxillary second molars were more prone to impaction in females (p < 0.05). Impacted incisors were more prevalent in maxilla, premolars, and second molars in mandible. The most commonly missing teeth were upper left second premolars. Mesiodens was the most frequently found supernumerary tooth. Conclusion We reported а high a rate of DDA in Serbian orthodontic patients, more in females than males. The most frequently observed DDA were impaction, tooth agenesis, hyperdontia, microdontia, macrodontia, and transposition. All investigated DDA were more frequently present in females, except hyperdontia. Current findings could offer а foundation for epidemiological studies on DDA prevalence.
