Introduction: Hypodontia is a condition where one to six teeth are missing during teeth development. Its etiology is unknown but it can be connected with congenital factor and abnormalities during initiation phase. The aims of this study were to analyse prevalence of hypodontiain ortodontically patients by orthopantomography radiology and the choice of therapy method in patients with hypodontia by analysing medical documentation. Methods: Altogether 525 patients from one Dental Office in Belgrade, were included in this research. This epidemic retrospective study was conducted by analyzing orthopantomography radiologies well as with collecting certain data from patients' medical files. All data were classified according to age, gender, jaw, jaw side, missing tooth, class according to Angle and method of therapy. Results: The prevalence of hypodontia was 6.28% and it was more often registered in women population. The most common therapy methods was closing space between the teeth (61%) and opening space in (33%). There was statistically significant correlation between treatment modality (opening and closing of the space) and tooth region with hypodontia (frontal and premolar) (p< 0.05). The occurrence of hypodontia was more obvious in lower jaw, lower second premolars were more often missing. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypodontia was 6.28%. There was statistically significant correlation between treatment modality (opening and closing of the space) and tooth region with hypodontia (frontal and premolar).
