چکیده
Fadia M. Al-Hummayani, BDS, MS * Abstract This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of congenital absence (agenesis) and malformation of maxillary lateral incisors in Saudi Arabian female students. A group of one thousand five hundred (1500) Saudi female school students, with an age range (11-19 years) were randomly selected from governmental and private schools in different districts at Jeddah city. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed. The findings indicated that agenesis of maxillary upper lateral incisor s were present in 0.7%. Tooth malformations mainly peg shaped lateral incisors were observed in about 2 % of the sample.

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the gene defect causing congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors also causes narrowing of the dentition. A total of 81 patients with one or two congenitally missing lateral incisors were retrieved; 52 (64.2 per cent) patients presented bilateral agenesis, whereas 29 (35.8 per cent) had unilateral agenesis. The control group consisted ...
متن کاملMaxillary lateral incisor agenesis and its relationship to overall tooth size.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisor has been linked to differences in the size of the remaining teeth. Thus, the mesiodistal space required for definitive esthetic restoration in patients with missing maxillary lateral incisors may be reduced. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether a tooth size discrepancy exists in orthodontic patients with agen...
متن کاملPermanent Maxillary Canine Agenesis: A Rare Case Report
Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) are among one of the commonly known dental anomalies. The most frequently missing teeth in the permanent dentition, excluding the third molars, are mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors. Exclusive agenesis of both maxillary canines is an extremely rare occurrence and only a few cases have been reported. Previous studies showed that the preva...
