OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to establish the prevalence and patterns of nonsyndromic tooth agenesis in patients referred to a tertiary health care facility. METHODS: The intraoral records and panoramic radiographs of 9,874 patients aged 12-22 years were evaluated. The study group included 716 patients (371 male, 345 female) with non-syndromic agenesis of at least one tooth (except the third molars). The study data were assessed using descriptive statistics, chisquare test, and Mann-Whitney U test, while patterns were evaluated using a tooth agenesis code (TAC) tool. RESULTS: A total of 1,627 congenitally missing teeth, were found in patients with non-syndromic tooth agenesis, with an average of 2.27 missing teeth per patient. The prevalence of tooth agenesis was 7.25%, and the most commonly missing teeth were the left mandibular second premolars (10.17%). The age group comparison revealed no significant difference in the median number of missing teeth per patient according to the cutoff values for ages between 12 and 22 years. When the missing teeth were examined separately according to quadrants, 114 different tooth agenesis patterns (upper right quadrant = 28, upper left quadrant = 27, lower left quadrant = 31, and lower right quadrant = 28) were identified, and 81 of these patterns appeared only once. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the benefits of applying the TAC tool in a large sample population. The application of the TAC tool in such studies will enable the development of template treatment plans by determining homogenous patterns of tooth agenesis in certain populations.
目的:本研究旨在确定在一家三级医疗保健机构就诊的患者中,非综合征性牙齿发育不全的患病率和模式。 方法:对9874名年龄在12至22岁之间患者的口腔记录和全景X线片进行评估。研究组包括716名患者(男性371名,女性345名),至少有一颗牙齿(第三磨牙除外)出现非综合征性发育不全。使用描述性统计、卡方检验和曼-惠特尼U检验对研究数据进行评估,同时使用牙齿发育不全编码(TAC)工具评估模式。 结果:在非综合征性牙齿发育不全的患者中,共发现1627颗先天性缺失牙,平均每名患者缺失2.27颗牙。牙齿发育不全的患病率为7.25%,最常缺失的牙齿是左下颌第二前磨牙(10.17%)。年龄组比较显示,根据12至22岁的年龄分界值,每名患者缺失牙的中位数无显著差异。当根据象限分别检查缺失牙时,确定了114种不同的牙齿发育不全模式(右上象限=28种,左上象限=27种,左下象限=31种,右下象限=28种),其中81种模式仅出现一次。 结论:本研究强调了在大样本人群中应用TAC工具的益处。在此类研究中应用TAC工具将能够通过确定特定人群中牙齿发育不全的同质模式来制定模板治疗方案。
