To investigate the prevalence, characteristics (malocclusion, location, type) and gender distribution of supernumerary teeth (ST) in an Iranian orthodontic population.
A retrospective study was carried out using radiographs (periapicals, panoramic) and study models of 1751 subjects (870 girls, 881 boys; age range 9-27 years). The Pearson chi-square test was used to determine differences in the distribution of ST when stratified by gender and malocclusion type.
Fourteen ST were found in 13 patients (six males, seven females), giving a prevalence rate of 0.74%. The prevalence rate of ST was higher in Class III malocclusions (5.2%) and was a rare finding among Class II malocclusions (0.1%). The occurrence rate of ST was higher in maxilla (78.5%) than in mandible (21.5%). The most common type of ST was the conical form (43%). We did not observe any late-developing paramolar or distomolar ST.
The prevalence rate of ST in our study was 0.74% and ST were more common among Class III malocclusions.
调查伊朗正畸人群中超生牙(ST)的流行率、特征(错颌畸形、位置、类型)和性别分布。
使用 X 光片(根尖片、全景片)和 1751 名患者的模型(870 名女孩,881 名男孩;年龄 9-27 岁)进行回顾性研究。采用 Pearson 卡方检验,按性别和错颌畸形类型分层,比较 ST 分布的差异。
在 13 名患者(6 名男性,7 名女性)中发现了 14 颗 ST,患病率为 0.74%。III 类错颌畸形(5.2%)中 ST 的患病率较高,而 II 类错颌畸形(0.1%)中 ST 少见。上颌(78.5%)比下颌(21.5%)更常见 ST。最常见的 ST 类型是锥形(43%)。我们没有观察到任何迟发性近中磨牙或远中磨牙 ST。
我们的研究中 ST 的患病率为 0.74%,且 ST 在 III 类错颌畸形中更为常见。
