- Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the prevalence of tooth agenesis, supernumerary teeth, molar incisor hypomineralisation and talon cusp in the northern Jordanian population. This was prospective study which was conducted over a period of one year and involved both clinical and radiographic examinations. 3660 non-syndrome patients were screened for the presence of any of the selected dental anomalies. Age ranged from 5-12 years. 1920 were males and 1740 females. Of the 3660 patients who were screened, 544 (14.9%) had at least one of the dental anomalies. The prevalence was 8.85% for tooth agenesis, 4.5% for supernumerary teeth, 3.9% for molar incisor hypomineralisation and 0.82% for talon cusps. The male to female ratio was 1:1.56 for tooth agenesis, 1.86:1 for supernumerary, 1.44:1 for molar incisor hypomineralisation and 4:1 for talon cusps. It was concluded that dental anomalies were frequent dental findings (14.9%). Tooth agenesis was the most prevalent (8.85%) followed by supernumerary teeth (4.5%), molar incisor hypomineralisation (3.9%) and talon cusps (0.82%).
