Comprehensive analysis of clinical characteristics of supernumerary teeth in 1218 adolescents from Xuzhou City
Objective This study reviewed and analyzed the clinical data for adolescents with impacted supernu-merary teeth and summarized disease characteristics.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical and radiographic data was conducted.We examined 1218 cases of supernumerary teeth in adolescents,focusing on parameters such as the sex dis-tribution,number and location of supernumerary teeth,dental developmental stage,and associated complications.Results In the cohort of 1 218 patients,a total of 1 927 supernumerary teeth were detected.The prevalence of supernumerary teeth was significantly higher in boys than in girls,with a ratio of approximately 3.44:1.Most supernumerary teeth(94.48％)oc-curred in the maxillary arch.The presence of two supernumerary teeth was predominant in the primary dentition stage.The mixed dentition period exhibited a varied combination of single and dual supernumerary teeth,whereas the permanent denti-tion was characterized primarily by single supernumerary teeth.Conical-shaped supernumerary teeth were prevalent in the anterior and premolar regions,whereas tuberculate-shaped teeth were frequently observed in the molar areas.Among all su-pernumerary teeth,85.94％were located palatally within the dental arch,8.72％were positioned internally,and 5.35％were situated labially.The complication rate due to supernumerary teeth was 30.36％.Conclusion Supernumerary teeth were observed predominantly in boys and in the maxilla,and presented primarily as one or two teeth,particularly in the palatal aspect of the dental arch.
