| description | Background:
Impacted teeth have a low prevalence but exhibit a very uneven distribution. Among dental visits, impaction is one of the most common issues encountered. The causes of impaction can can vary from person to person, including factors such as a lack of calcium, retained deciduous tooth, or the presence of supernumerary teeth that interfere with the normal eruption pattern. The presence of impacted teeth can hinder the progress of orthodontic treatment. Therefore, understanding the prevalence of impacted teeth is crucial for effective treatment planning. This study aims to examine the prevalence of impacted teeth among dental patients in the southwest zone of Hyderabad.
Materials and Methods:
Panaromic radiographs taken in 2019 served as the basis for this crosssectional investigation. After reviewing 2,819 radiographs, data on patients with impacted teeth were collected. We analyzed the age and gender distribution of 40 individuals with impacted canine teeth to determine prevalence. Data were tabulated and analyzed using Excel. The sectors identified according to Ericson and Kurol were used to categorize the data. Frequency and percentage were used as statistical measures.
Results:
The study found that the most common type of impacted teeth was in males aged 20 and above (45%), followed by females at (40%). Among those aged less than 20, the prevalence was 12.5% in females and 2.5% in males. The data suggest that the majority of dental patients with impacted teeth were male and over the age of 20.
Conclusion:
The study concludes that impacted teeth are more prevalent in males over the age of 20 among dental patients in the southwest zone of Hyderabad. |
