Dental anomalies in panoramic radiographs of Peruvian adolescents

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Aim: Determine the prevalence of dental anomalies in panoramic radiographs of Peruvian adolescents according to their sex and age. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out using panoramic radiographs of 300 patients (147 men and 153 women) aged between 12 and 18 years who attended a radiological center in the period from May to August 2022. These patients were examined to determine the presence of dental anomalies of shape, size, number, position and structure. The incidence of these anomalies was evaluated according to sex and age. Results: Among the 300 subjects, a total of 129 individuals (75 men and 54 women) presented at least one of the selected dental anomalies (43%). The anomalies in our study were position 22.3%, number 17%, shape 11.7% and size 1.6%. Conclusions: Tooth impaction was the most frequent anomaly in Peruvian adolescents, followed by dental hypodontia; and these have a relationship with sex and age.
