| Summary: | Aim: A survey was conducted to analyze the prevalence and
incidence of dental anomalies in relation to maxillary lateral
incisors in the Odisha population. A multidisciplinary approach
for aesthetic management of a geminated tooth is described.
Material and Methods: A total of 1062 subject, aged between 15-
30 years (724 males and 338 Females) were randomly screened
at Institute of Dental Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Odisha India. Each
subject was examined clinically and radiovisuographically for
dental anomalies in relation to maxillary lateral incisors. In the
related case described, endodontic management and aesthetic
correction of geminated maxillary lateral incisors was done.
Results: Five dental anomalies i.e. gemination, fusion, missing
lateral incisors (both unilateral and bilateral), peg shaped incisors
(unilateral and bilateral), and dens in dente were observed.
Anomalies found were Peg shaped; 2.82%, Missing;1.88%,
Gemination;0.28%, Fusion;0.18% and Dens in Dente;0.18%.
Conclusion: Comparison of these results with that of other
studies indicated that anomalies in lateral incisors occur at
different frequencies among various countries and communities
in the world. In the case since maxillary lateral incisors are in
the aesthetic zone, recognizing these anomalies will facilitate a
successful treatment. |
