ABSTRACTObjective: To examine the frequency of dental
developmental alterations in patients presented with dilacerated teeth.
Study Design: Cross-sectional/ Observational study
Place & Duration of Study: Watim Dental
College Rawalpindi from 1st March 2017 to 31st March
2019.
Methods: Total 27 patients of both gender presented
with dilacerated teeth were enrolled. Patient’s ages were ranging from 10 to 65
years. Patient’s demographical details were
recorded after taking informed consent from all the patients and
parents/guardians. Panoramic radiographical examination was done to examine the
frequency of dental anomalies.
Results: 18 (66.67%) were females. Mean age of
patients was 32.46±14.85 years. Majority of patients were females. Dental anomalies
was found in 16 (59.26%) patients with 26 teeth. Hypodontia was the most common
dental developmental alterations found in 6 (37.5%) patients followed by enamel
pearls in 4 (25%) patients and taurodontism in 2 (12.5%) patients.
Conclusion: Frequency
of developmental dental anomalies was high in patients with dilacerated teeth.
Hypodontia were the most frequent DAs and majority of teeth were located in
maxilla.
