Exploring developmental dental Anomalies: Unveiling their prevalence and distribution in the population of Hyderabad

AUTHOR(S): Dr. Arti Kadtan and Dr. Kamakshi Kalla
ABSTRACT:
Background: Dental anomalies occur due to hereditary and environmental factors. It can affect both primary and permanent dentition. These anomalies can result in functional, cosmetic, and occlusal problems.
Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of various dental anomalies among the population of Hyderabad.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted by OroGlee Solutions Private Limited, Hyderabad. A total of 7966 subjects of age 8 to 40 years were examined and grouped based on the presence of various dental anomalies. Oral examination was done using an intraoral camera.
Results: Out of the total 7966 subjects, 220 (2.76%) subjects had dental anomalies. Among the total 220 subjects having dental anomalies, Talon cusp was found to have the highest prevalence. It was seen in 49 (22.27%) subjects, followed by microdontia in 47 (21.36%), peg lateral in 44 (20%), dens evaginatus in 34 (15.45%), mesiodens in 15 (6.81%), dens in dente in 15 (6.81%), gemination in 5 (2.27%), fusion in 4 (1.81%), transposition in 3 (1.36%), paramolar in 2 (0.91%), parapremolar in 1 (0.45%), amelogenesis imperfecta in 1 (0.45%).
Conclusion: The most prevalent dental anomaly found in our study was Talon cusp seen in 49 subjects (22.27% of the subjects with anomalies). Awareness of the prevalence and distribution of developmental dental anomalies would make it easier to identify these abnormalities at early stages and enable prompt correction.
