The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the gender-based differences in patients with hypodontia. As a secondary outcome, the study looked into the correlation between hypodontia and other dental clinical features among Kosovar adolescents.
3,306 students, aged between 15-21 years were examined in schools in Kosovo. Examinations were performed using a dental mirror to assess the number of teeth present, and dental impressions were taken from hypodontia subjects. Panoramic and periapical radiographs, as well as intraoral photographs, were taken in subjects who were suspected to have hypodontia to verify the diagnosis.
77 of the examined subjects had hypodontia, among which 46 were females (59.7%) and 31 were males (40.3%). The most frequently missing teeth were the maxillary lateral incisors, followed by the mandibular second premolars. 68 patients (88.3%) had at least one dental clinical feature concurrent with hypodontia.
No significant difference was noted in the prevalence of hypodontia according to gender. Teeth rotation was the most commonly observed clinical feature followed by inclination.
本研究的主要目的是评估先天性缺牙患者的性别差异。作为次要结果，该研究调查了科索沃青少年先天性缺牙与其他牙齿临床特征之间的相关性。
对科索沃学校中3306名年龄在15至21岁之间的学生进行了检查。使用牙镜检查牙齿数量，并对先天性缺牙患者取牙印模。对疑似先天性缺牙的受试者拍摄全景片和根尖片以及口腔内照片以核实诊断。
77名受检者患有先天性缺牙，其中46名女性（59.7%），31名男性（40.3%）。最常缺失的牙齿是上颌侧切牙，其次是下颌第二前磨牙。68名患者（88.3%）至少有一种与先天性缺牙并发的牙齿临床特征。
先天性缺牙的患病率在性别上无显著差异。牙齿扭转是最常见的临床特征，其次是倾斜。
