Abstract

BACKGROUND: Congenital or non-congenital tooth absence results in dental asymmetries,alignment issues, and differences in arch length.
AIMS AND  OBJECTIVES: To  determine  the  prevalence  of  congenitally  missing  maxillary lateral incisors (LIs) and to find out its variability in relation to gender.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out between January 2021 and  December  2023.  Orthopantomograph  (OPGs)  record  of  all  orthodontic  adolescent patients  aged  12  to  18  years  were  taken  from  the  archival  records  of  the  department.
rthopantomographs helped to diagnose the presence of unilateral/bilateral maxillary lateral incisors. The  statistical  analysis  was  done  using  the  Statistical  Package  for  Social  Sciences (SPSS version 17.0). The frequencies were compared with the help of the Chi‑square test. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS:  The  frequency  of  missing  upper  laterals  among  the  male  patients  was 1.00%,however,  2.8%  of  the  female  patients  were  having  missing  maxillary  lateral  incisors.  Based on  gender,  62.16%  had  a  bilateral  expression  of  missing  upper  laterals,  16.78%  had  left unilateral expression, and 21.62% had right unilateral expression.
CONCLUSION:  The  prevalence  rate  for  congenitally  missing  upper  lateral  incisors  in  the orthodontic adolescent population aged 12 to 18 years was found to be 3.88% in the present study while females were found to have a greater percentage of agenesis of the upper lateral incisors (2.8%) as compared to the males (1.00%).
