Supernumerary teeth (ST) are a not uncommon developmental anomaly which appears in 0.3 to 3.8 percent of the population. We studied the corresponding radiographs from 2241 patients, both sexes who seeked dental attention at the Outpatient Clinic of the División de Estudios de Posgrado e Investigación, Facultad de Odontología, UNAM in Mexico City. Of them, we found 72 patients (3.2%) with 102 ST. Of the 72 patients, 39 were males (54.2%) and 33 females (45.8%). Mesiodens was the most common ST (48.6%), followed by supernumerary premolars (26.4%), supernumerary laterals (11.1%) and fourth molars (9.7%). This series includes cases with one, two and three ST and one case comprising 10 ST. Our results suggest that frequency of ST in the population studied differs in some aspects with previously reported series and that frequency of ST shows different rates depending the population studied. As our results demonstrate, it is encouraged the need to have panoramic radiographs of all patients attended in dental offices, clinics and schools of Dentistry in order to detect and diagnose undiscovered pathologies.
多生牙(ST)是一种并不罕见的发育异常,在0.3%至3.8%的人群中出现。我们研究了来自2241名患者的相应X光片,这些患者均为在墨西哥城国立自治大学牙科学院研究生及研究部门诊寻求牙科治疗的男女患者。其中,我们发现72名患者(3.2%)有102颗多生牙。在这72名患者中,39名是男性(54.2%),33名是女性(45.8%)。正中牙是最常见的多生牙(48.6%),其次是多生前磨牙(26.4%)、多生侧切牙(11.1%)和第四磨牙(9.7%)。该系列包括有一颗、两颗和三颗多生牙的病例,以及一例包含10颗多生牙的病例。我们的结果表明,在所研究人群中多生牙的发生率在某些方面与先前报道的系列有所不同,并且多生牙的发生率因所研究的人群而异。正如我们的结果所示,鼓励对在牙科诊所、门诊和牙科学院就诊的所有患者进行全景X光检查,以便检测和诊断未发现的病变。
