RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF SUPERNUMERARY TEETH IN THE SOUTHERN TURKISH INDIVIDUALS

ABSTRACT   Aim: The aim of this study was to assess radiographic features of supernumerary teeth and demographic factors of Southern Turkish individuals. Material and Method: Retrospectively; panoramic radiographs of 3713 randomly selected individuals were analyzed by two oral radiologists based on the presence of supernumerary teeth. Chi-square test was performed for comparing the frequency of supernumerary teeth between female and male patients. p<0.05 was accepted statistically significant. Results: Twenty-nine (0.78%) of the 3713 individuals had one and more supernumerary teeth (22, 6, and 1 patients had one, two and three supernumerary teeth, respectively). Of these 29 individuals, 16 were female and 13 were male. Total of 37 supernumerary teeth were found and mandibula (n = 21) was more frequently than maxilla (n = 16). There was not statistically significant difference in the distribution according to the genders. Conclusions: The evaluation of 3713 panoramic radiographs revealed a prevalence of supernumerary teeth of 0.78%. Supernumerary teeth were more common in the mandibula than in the maxilla, and there was not statistically significant difference in the gender disturbance.Key words: Supernumerary Teeth, Prevalence, Panoramic RadiographyGÜNEYLİ TÜRK BİREYLERDE SÜPERNÜMERE DİŞLERİN RADYOGRAFİK ÖZELLİKLERİ ÖZ   Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Güneyli Türk bireylerde süpernümere dişlerin radyografik özelliklerini ve demografik faktörlerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Rastgele seçilen bireylerden elde edilen 3713 adet panoramik radyografi süpernümere diş varlığı açısından iki radyolog tarafından retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Kadın erkek arasındaki süpernümere diş sıklığını kıyaslamak amacıyla ki kare testi uygulandı. p < 0.05 istatistiki olarak önemli sayıldı. Bulgular: 3713 bireyin 29’unda (0.78%) bir veya daha fazla süpernümere diş vardı (22, 6, ve 1 bireyde sırasıyla bir, iki ve üç süpernümere diş). 29 hastadan 16’sı kadın ve 13’ü erkekti. Toplam 37 süpernümere diş bulundu ve mandibulada (21 adet) süpernümere diş sıklığı maksilladan (16 adet) daha fazla bulundu. Cinsiyete göre dağılımda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark yoktu. Sonuç: 3713 panoramik radyografi değerlendirmesi sonucu süpernümere diş prevelansı 0.78% olarak bulundu. Süpernümere diş mandibulada maksilladan daha sıktı ve cinsiyet dağılımında istatiksel bir farklılık bulunamadı.Anahtar Kelimeler: Süpernümere Dişler; Prevelans; Panoramik Radyografi
