Abstrakt: Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to estimate the prevalence of non-syndromic congenitally missing teeth (CMT) and to explore the frequency of CMT patterns in a French orthodontic population. In addition, the study sought to assess sex-based differences in CMT patterns.
Design: Panoramic radiographs of 4569 orthodontic patients between 9 and 21 years-old performed over a 16-year period (2006-2022) were examined to identify non-syndromic tooth agenesis, excluding third molars. A chi-square test or a Fisher exact test were used to determine the difference in the prevalence of tooth agenesis between sex and between arches.
Results: Tooth agenesis was observed in 7.3% of the sample (7.9% for females and 6.6% for males). Approximately 86% of the included subjects presented 1 or 2 missing teeth. Single tooth agenesis was significantly more frequent in females than males (p = 0.002, χ2). In total, 23 of the 67 different patterns of CMT observed, were present more than once. 75.5% of male patients and 79.5% of female patients presented one or both missing lateral incisors or second premolars, rarely affected at the same time. This study showed no sex difference in the patterns of tooth agenesis.
Limitations: This study has limitations due to its retrospective nature and our findings apply solely to an orthodontic population from a white ethnic background.
Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of this particular incisor/premolar phenotype regardless of biological sex. Issues associated with congenitally missing teeth can be managed more effectively with early teenage diagnosis.
