Distribution of dental anomalies in panoramic radiography at RSGMP Universitas Airlangga

Objectives: This research was aimed to determine the distribution of dental anomaly cases on panoramic radiographs at Universitas Airlangga Dental Hospital (RSGMP). Materials and Methods: This research used a descriptive observational design with a total sampling technique from panoramic radiographic data at the Radiology Clinic of RSGMP Universitas Airlangga during 2018-2020, which had cases of dental anomalies. Results: The result showed 116 cases of dental anomalies, with more incidence in female (64 %) than in male (36 %). The most common dental anomaly category was the number of teeth anomalies (47.41 %), followed by tooth size anomalies (29.31 %), tooth shape anomalies (23.28 %), and there were no cases of anomalies in tooth structure and position. The most common types of dental anomalies were microdontia (27.59 %), missing teeth/agenesis (25 %), supernumerary teeth (22.41 %), dilaceration (16.38 %), talon cusp (3.45 %), taurodontism (2.59 %), macrodontia (1.72 %), germination (0.86 %). Conclusion: The most common cases of dental anomalies were based on their categories, namely anomalies in the number of teeth, followed by tooth size, and tooth shape. (author)
