There are four key studies in the periodontology literature reporting the correlation between supernumerary teeth and aggressive periodontitis. The aim of this study is to detect such a relationship.
Patients with supernumerary teeth were identified retrospectively from their orthopantomographs and were invited to the periodontology department for intraoral examination. They were then evaluated for aggressive periodontitis. The number of existing teeth, age, family histories, attachment loss, probing depths, and bleeding on probing scores were recorded.
Of the 5,850 subjects randomly observed among 48,000 patients, only 174 exhibited supernumerary teeth. Of these 174 subjects, only three patients were diagnosed with aggressive periodontitis. One of the patients was also suffering from Fanconi's anemia.
Despite the similarities (aggressive periodontitis accompanied by supernumerary teeth) in the previous reports, we do not agree with the earlier results. We rather suggest that this association might be a random occurrence, rather than a biological one, although this observation should be further investigated using genetic testing.
牙周病学文献中有四项关键研究报告了多生牙与侵袭性牙周炎之间的相关性。本研究的目的是检测这种关系。
通过全景片回顾性识别有多生牙的患者，并邀请他们到牙周病科进行口腔内检查。然后对他们进行侵袭性牙周炎评估。记录现有牙齿数量、年龄、家族史、附着丧失、探诊深度和探诊出血评分。
在48000名患者中随机观察的5850名受试者中，只有174人有多生牙。在这174名受试者中，只有三名患者被诊断为侵袭性牙周炎。其中一名患者还患有范可尼贫血。
尽管先前的报告中有相似之处（伴有多生牙的侵袭性牙周炎），但我们不同意早期的结果。我们更倾向于认为这种关联可能是随机发生的，而非生物学关联，尽管这一观察结果应通过基因检测进一步研究。
