“…Contrary to the high prevalence of hypodontia, supernumerary teeth are less frequently found in healthy individuals (0.5-3.8%). The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in our sample was 4.4%, slightly higher than in recent studies [24,25,26]. The etiological pattern of sex distribution in association with supernumerary teeth is the opposite of hypodontia [1].…”

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.

“…Congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors is relatively frequent worldwide. The global prevalence of tooth agenesis, excluding third molars, varies from 2% to 10%, and it occurs mostly in mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors . Excluding third molars, two of every three congenitally missing teeth in oligodontia patients are mandibular second premolars or maxillary lateral incisors .…”

Objective Clinicians are faced with three common treatment options for the high frequency of missing or lost maxillary lateral incisors; canine substitution, a resin‐bonded fixed dental prosthesis (RBFDP), or a dental implant. A review of current data and guidelines for treatment provide new insight into making the most appropriate selection. Overview The incidence of maxillary incisor agenesis and loss is prevalent. Both canine substitution and RBFDPs exhibit esthetic and functional advantages and disadvantages. Conclusions Most missing lateral incisors are detected at an early age as a result of congenital absence; therefore, proper treatment of these young patients is essential. Both canine substitution and RBFDPs can provide long‐term success and esthetics when carefully executed. The decision should be based on the patient's expectations, their clinical presentation, cost, and the team's ability to provide the best long‐term esthetic and functional prognosis for a specific patient. Clinical significance Patients regularly present for treatment of missing and lost maxillary lateral incisors. The functional and esthetic aspects of canine substitution and a RBFDP should be clearly understood relative to the clinical parameters of each patient prior to treatment.

The presence of dental abnormalities in the same individual may be related to syndromic cases and occur through associated systemic changes. Kabuki syndrome presents well‐defined systemic changes, but its clinical characteristics related to the oral cavity have not been fully explained. This study aimed to report the dental changes in a child diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome. A male brown patient aged 2 years and 7 months, accompanied by his mother to the dental visit, they main complaint was the presented of an additional tooth behind upper right central incisor. Anamnesis, intra‐ and extraoral examinations, and dental X‐rays were performed, revealing a talon cusp. Considering the dental clinical findings, the patient was referred to a medical geneticist who additionally requested cardiological and genetic examinations, which established the Kabuki syndrome. The caregivers were advised that the talon cusp would not cause any injury to the natural exfoliation of the tooth and that oral hygiene should be performed carefully. Abnormalities in the oral cavity and developmental delay may be associated with a potential undiagnosed syndrome. The medical evaluation becomes decisive for investigation, diagnosis, and final conduct of the case.
