Prevalence of supernumerary teeth in permanent dentition among patients attending a dental college in South Kerala: A pilot study

Supernumerary Teeth: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study from Palestine

“…In the present study, males were more frequently affected than females in the ratio of 3.25:1, which was close to a previously reported ratio (3.1:1) [35]. However, the ratio reported in the present study is higher than other previously reported ratios [4,7,9,10,15,[17][18][19][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Nevertheless, higher ratios of 6.5:1 [8] and 7.2:1 [34] have been reported in the literature.…”

A rare case of impacted mandibular distomolar: Identification and management at a remote high altitude location

“…The maxilla has been noted to have a higher incidence of distomolars than the mandible. [9][10][11] The higher prevalence in males has been postulated to be associated with the autosomal recessive gene, which has greater penetration in males. 12 Distomolars are usually asymptomatic but if impacted, they may result in infection, pain, cystic lesions, root resorption and pulpal necrosis of the adjacent tooth as well as neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve.…”

Age and Gender Predilection of Mesiodens- A Retrospective Study

“…According to Shubhabrate et al, (Pal et al, 2019) 68% of the patients had conical shape mesiodens out of which 68% of the population is male. According to (Sejdini and Çerkezi, 2018) there was significant cases of mesiodens in children age group of 7-14 years and most of the mesiodens are conical and shape and the most affected populations are males .According to Devi gopakumar et al, (Nair et al, 2014) sex distribution of M:F equal 2:1 which proves that makes have significant prevalence for mesiodens.According to Poornima P et al, (Poornima, Roopa and Shah, 2014;Gifrina Jayaraj, Sherlin, et al, 2015) sex distribution of M:F equal 1:1, in which 61% of the mesiodens are conical in shape.Moreover, to conclude most of the studies compared go to which there is a prevalence of mesiodens in male population significantly higher than the female population and conical shape mesiodens are more prevalent of all other shapes. But still in this study, there is no significant p value to prove that male population is more significant which is due to lack of sample size and minimise sampling bias.…”
