Prevalence of dental anomalies on panoramic radiographs in a population of the state of Pará, Brazil

Abstract: Dental anomalies were present in over half of the sample, and most of them were related to the shape of the teeth. Although there was a high prevalence of shape-related DAs, these alterations are generally of lower severity, and most do not require specific treatment. However, in 19.25% of cases, DAs were found involving the number, size and structure of the teeth. These DAs should be diagnosed and treated early, avoiding thus more serious complications.

“…A study carried out in the extreme north of Brazil showed a 27.2% prevalence of taurodontism, which is much higher than our findings and those from the literature. Taurodontism has as one of the possible causes the invagination of the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath, which is specified by a genetic determination, thus can differ according to the country region [4]. Another explanation is that the criteria used by the authors were not very strict for the determination of this dental anomaly.…”

“…Frequency studies (prevalence and incidence) are very relevant due to genetic and ethnic variability. In addition, sample differences (age, sex, region, country) and diagnostic criteria are factors that indicate the need for various studies of this type [3][4][5].…”

“…Faktor genetik, mempengaruhi benih gigi, yang sifat-sifatnya diturunkan oleh gen dari orang tua, sedangkan faktor lingkungan mempengaruhi gigi tersebut setelah erupsi, yaitu bersifat mekanis dan kimiawi. 4 Gigi insisif lateral maksila adalah gigi yang banyak mengalami kelainan pada ukurannya. Gigi insisif lateral maksila yang mempunyai kelainan ukuran, adalah gigi dengan ukuran yang berbeda atau tidak sesuai dengan ukuran gigi normalnya.…”
