: Supernumerary teeth, or hyperdontia, refer to a developmental anomaly defined by the presence of additional teeth beyond the normal dentition. Hyperdontia may result in clinical complications including delayed eruption, crowding, and malocclusion. Despite its prevalence having been studied in various populations, data from geographically isolated or peripheral groups remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and distribution of supernumerary teeth in a sample of children and adolescents from the island of Lesvos, Greece. : A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using panoramic radiographs from 621 Caucasian children aged 9-16 years who attended orthodontic or general/pediatric dental clinics in Mytilini, Lesvos island, Greece. Radiographs were examined for the presence, number, type, and location of supernumerary teeth. The analysis included data to explore gender and arch distribution. : Supernumerary teeth were identified in 15 individuals, corresponding to a prevalence of 2.4%. A slightly higher occurrence was observed in males (1.4%) than in females (1%). The majority of supernumerary teeth were situated in the maxillary arch (1.9%). Mesiodens represented the most frequently observed type, followed by supernumerary lateral incisors, paramolars, and a single supernumerary central incisor. : The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in this population is consistent with reported findings. Mesiodens was the most frequently observed type, with a predominance in the maxillary arch. Early detection of supernumerary teeth is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
额外牙,即多生牙,是指一种发育异常,其定义为在正常牙列之外存在额外的牙齿。多生牙可能导致包括萌出延迟、牙列拥挤和错牙合在内的临床并发症。尽管已经在不同人群中对其患病率进行了研究,但来自地理上孤立或边缘群体的数据仍然有限。本研究旨在调查希腊莱斯博斯岛儿童和青少年样本中额外牙的患病率和分布情况。 采用回顾性横断面研究方法,对希腊莱斯博斯岛米蒂利尼市正畸或普通/儿童牙科诊所的621名9至16岁白种儿童的全景X线片进行分析。检查X线片上额外牙的存在情况、数量、类型和位置。分析包括探索性别和牙弓分布的数据。 在15名个体中发现了额外牙,患病率为2.4%。观察到男性(1.4%)的发生率略高于女性(1%)。大多数额外牙位于上颌牙弓(1.9%)。正中牙是最常见的类型,其次是额外侧切牙、副磨牙和单个额外中切牙。 该人群中额外牙的患病率与已报道的结果一致。正中牙是最常见的类型,以上颌牙弓为主。早期发现额外牙对于准确诊断和有效治疗至关重要。
