Abstrakt:	Background: Consanguinity is known to alter the population structure but the available literature is almost silent on the association of dental conditions with consanguinity. Aim: The purpose was to assess the various dental developmental anomalies in 6-9 year old children born out of consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages and its association with their parents. Design: A cross sectional house-hold survey with a sample size of 2,000 (1,600 non-consanguineous and 400 consanguineous respondents and their parents) using systematic random sampling was planned. Six to nine-year-old children and their parents living in 1,597 households were examined and the information recorded on a pretested self prepared questionnaire. The questionnaire had questions pertaining to personal details, type of consanguineous marriages, history of trauma and examination of dental developmental anomalies. Results: Multivariate logistic regression showed that non syndromic supernumerary teeth in fathers ( p =.009); fusion in mothers ( p = 0.002); fusion ( p <0.001), nonsyndromic supernumerary teeth ( p < 0.001), and microdontia ( p = 0.002) in respondents were significantly associated with consanguinity. Conclusion: A significant association of developmental anomalies in parents with consanguineous marriages and their respondents was observed. How to Cite This Article: Khan SY.
