Prevalence of Dental Anomalies in Adult Orthodontic Patients with Oral Radiological Point: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Background: Dental rosy anomalies, although not a disease, can impact a person’s quality of life. This study investigates irregularities in the teeth, the degree of opening of the edge of the upper and lower teeth, and pink dental anomalies in the studied population. Methods: The study reviewed 61 articles with keywords “dental anomalies,” “orthodontics,” “dental problems,” and “internal diseases” in the Web of Science, PsycInfo, PubMed, and Scopus and published between January 2010 and September 2024. Results: Dental abnormalities noticeably affect the appearance of teeth. In dental anomalies, deviations are the origin of dental tissue, and can occur in tooth enamel, dentin, or cementum of dental tissues. Conclusion: Abnormalities can be drastic changes or minor deviations. They have various causes. Some abnormalities are caused by intrinsic factors such as heredity, metabolic disorder, or genetic mutation. Other external causes include physical or chemical trauma, biological agents, nutritional deficiencies, stress, habits, or adverse environmental conditions. True anodontia is the congenital absence of teeth, including the teeth, baby teeth, or both. Congenital loss of milk teeth prevents permanent replacement.
