Radiographic evaluation of orodental anomalies in a Thai population: prevalence, supernumerary teeth characteristics, and associated factors

The study identified a range of orodental anomalies in the Thai population using panoramic radiographs, with tooth impaction being the highest prevalent orodental anomaly. The study also focused on characterizing the supernumerary teeth, which were significantly associated with other anomalies such as impaction and microdontia in bivariate analysis, though this association was not confirmed by logistic regression. Despite this, the observed co-occurrence highlights the need for thorough radiographic evaluation in cases presenting with eruption disturbances or tooth size anomalies. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating anomaly screening in routine dental radiography and warrant multicenter investigations for broader generalizability.
