Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to reveal the prevalence of certain dental anomalies, in a group of young Egyptian children . Results: The total study sample composed of 469 boys (46.9%) and 531 girls (53.1%). Dental anomalies were found in 111 children representing 11.1% of the study sample, 103 cases had one anomaly (10.3%) while 8 cases had more than one anomaly(0.8%). The most commonly detected dental anomalies were Enamel hypoplasia(3.3%) and Supernumerary teeth (1.8%). The total prevalence of aplasia of second premolar and upper lateral incisors was 1.7% and 0.7% respectively. Peg-shaped lateral incisor was detected in 0.8 % . The prevalence of fusion and germination was 0.4 % and 0.1% respectively. Infra-occlusion was detected in 0.5%. Ectopic eruption of permanent molars was the rarest 0.2%. Conclusions: Dental anomalies found were not related to a disease or syndrome. No significant statistically difference between males and females ,except in peg-shaped lateral incisors and supernumerary teeth
