Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We aim to identify the prevalence and distribution of such anomalies according to age and gender. The acquired details of cases will further help the dental clinicians to understand their etiology which can further facilitate their diagnosis and effective management. Also, timely intervention can be achieved. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective study of 4,000 subjects (equal proportion of males and female) of age range from 10 to 40 years were studied. Their radiographs, dental casts, and clinical findings were evaluated for number and size developmental dental anomaly. RESULTS: Incidence of overall 331 cases (8.27%) of number and size developmental dental anomalies were recorded with 173 (8.6%) males and 158 (7.9%) females. Hypodontia was the most frequently found dental anomaly in both males (4.9%) and females (4.4%) followed by hyperdontia and supernumerary roots. Microdontia was the most frequently found size anomaly in both males (1.6%) and females (1.9%). CONCLUSION: value ≤ 0.00001. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: .
