  • Prevalence of Shape-Related Developmental Dental Anomalies in India: a Retrospective Study Mridula Goswami1, Sakshi Bhardwaj2, Navneet Grewal3
    REVIEW ARTICLE Prevalence of Shape-related Developmental Dental Anomalies in India: A Retrospective Study Mridula Goswami1, Sakshi Bhardwaj2, Navneet Grewal3 ABSTRACT Aim and objective: The aim and objective of this study was to review the literature to analyze the prevalence of developmental dental anomalies regarding shape in India. Background: Although there have been several studies investigating the prevalence of individual dental anomalies related to shape, only a few studies considered all subtypes and their distribution among genders, especially in India. Results: An electronic search was made in the PUBMED database to review prevalence-based data on developmental dental anomalies related to shape in India up to December 2018. A diverse range of results regarding prevalence of developmental dental anomalies related to shape were seen in these studies due to vast regional, cultural, and ethnic diversities and various environmental factors affecting the tooth development. Conclusion: There is a necessity to conduct more study on shape-related dental anomalies because there are very limited studies regarding prevalence of concrescence, dilacerations, and accessory root and various associated factors. Clinical significance: Early diagnosis and timely management of these anomalies can prevent complications. The knowledge on identification and prevalence of dental anomalies helps the dental practitioners improve the treatment plan. The prevalence studies can be of utmost importance in the formulation of oral healthcare programs by using their data to analyze the intensity of dental anomalies. Keywords: Developmental dental anomalies, Prevalence, Shape.

Akademicki 17, 41-902 Bytom, Poland Received 5 June 2013; Accepted 29 October 2013 Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate 10-years of clinical material referring to the rare dental abnormality of double teeth. The study material consisted of case records, operation-books and radiographic or photographic documentation on patients treated in the Department of Oral Surgery, Silesian Medical University, Katowice, from the 1st of June 2000 to the 31st of May 2010. The following features were considered important: age and sex, the reason why the patient reported for treatment, general state of health, the time of recognition and type of double teeth, location of double teeth, complaints and disturbances connected with double teeth, types of radiographs, the radiographic and macroscopic appearance of double teeth and treatment method. Diagnoses were as follows: eight conrescent teeth, two fused teeth, two geminated teeth and one invaginated tooth. The anomaly of a deciduous tooth was referred to in one case only. Double teeth were most often seen in the region of maxillary incisors and molars but rarely in the mandible. The region of incisors was affected chiefly in children and the region of molars in adults. Double incisors are usually recognized prior to treatment whereas double molars as late as during their extraction.

  • Frequency of Developmental Dental Anomalies in the Indian Population
    Published online: 2019-09-30 Frequency of Developmental Dental Anomalies in the Indian Population Kruthika S Guttala Venkatesh G Naikmasurb Puneet Bhargavac Renuka J Bathid ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of developmental dental anomalies in the Indian population. Methods: This prospective study was conducted over a period of 1 year and comprised both clinical and radiographic examinations in oral medicine and radiology outpatient department. Adult patients were screened for the presence of dental anomalies with appropriate radiographs. A comprehen- sive clinical examination was performed to detect hyperdontia, talon cusp, fused teeth, gemination, concrescence, hypodontia, dens invaginatus, dens evaginatus, macro- and microdontia and taur- odontism. Patients with syndromes were not included in the study. Results: Of the 20,182 patients screened, 350 had dental anomalies. Of these, 57.43% of anoma- lies occurred in male patients and 42.57% occurred in females. Hyperdontia, root dilaceration, peg- shaped laterals (microdontia), and hypodontia were more frequent compared to other dental anoma- lies of size and shape. Conclusions: Dental anomalies are clinically evident abnormalities. They may be the cause of vari- ous dental problems. Careful observation and appropriate investigations are required to diagnose the condition and institute treatment.
