Abstract Aims: Our retrospective study aimed to find out whether the occurrence of other dental anomalies in patients with missing maxillary permanent lateral incisor is significantly different from the overall occurrence of those anomalies in the general population. Material and method: The sample included 120 patients with missing maxillary permanent lateral incisor. The prevalence of twelve other dental anomalies associated with hypodontia was monitored in these patients. The values obtained were compared with reference values recorded in population studies. Results: In the monitored sample of patients a higher prevalence of maxillary permanent lateral incisor microdontia was found as well as permanent teeth agenesis, third molars agenesis, taurodontism, palatal impaction of maxillary permanent canine, ectopic eruption, impaction of lower permanent second molar, and distoangulation of lower second premolar germ. On the other hand, the prevalence of hyperodontia, short root syndrome, teeth transposition, ectopic eruption of maxillary permanent first molar, and infraocclusion of deciduous molars, was almost the same as in the rest of the population. redakce@orthodont-cz.cz 91

2 ORTODONCIE Conclusion: With regard to the study results we recommend a long-term follow-up of the patients with missing maxillary permanent lateral incisor with respect to the potential early treatment of associated dental anomalies (Ortodoncie 2013, 22, No. 2, p ).

Do vyâcï tu Introduction In general, hypodontia refers to a dental anomaly that is characterized by a lower number of teeth, the germs of which are not developed. In case of an individual tooth we speak about agenesis or aplasia. In permanent dentition hypodontia's prevalence oscillates between 2.2% and 10.1%. With the exception of third molars agenesis, the most frequently affected tooth is the lower second premolar, followed by upper lateral incisor and upper second premolar [1]. Depending on number and type of not established teeth patients suffer from functional and esthetic harm. Esthetic problems arise mainly when agenesis affects anterior segment of dentition (i.e. upper permanent lateral incisor agenesis). The anomaly may be solved solely by an orthodontist [2] or in cooperation with an implantologist [3] and an prosthodontist [4]. Hypodontia etiology is based on multiple factors. We can mention genetic factors and factors of the environment. It appears that genetic factors play the most important role. Genetic causes of agenesis have been revealed gradually thanks to the studies of affected families, twins, and candidate genes. As the causes of isolated (non-syndrome) form of hypodontia mutations in genes PAX9, MSX1 and AXIN2 were identified. So far 5 mutations of MSX1 gene, 11 mutations of PAX9 gene, and 2 mutations of AXIN2 gene connected with hypodontia were found [5]. In spite of substantial development in this area of research the genes responsible for mild forms of hypodontia have not been determined yet. This holds also true about missing upper permanent lateral incisor. Hoffmeister [6, 7, 8] was one of the first experts who recognized the common origin of structurally different developmental anomalies of dentition (including hypodontia). He introduced the concept of ªmicrosymptoms of genetically determined predisposition to defective development of dentitionª, and recommended to observe these microsymptoms as signals of potential occurrence of hyperodontia, germ dystopia, or hypodontia in a patient and their relatives. A number of works prove that hypodontia is not an isolated phenomenon but that it is related to number, size, morphology, mineralisation and eruption of other teeth in dentition [9, 10, 11, 12]. Markova and VaÂsÏ kovaâ state that hypodontia should be seen not as a mere anomaly in the number of teeth, but as a manifestation of abnor redakce@orthodont-cz.cz

The dental anomalies associated with hypodontia include: reduction of mesiodistal width of all teeth, microdontia of upper permanent lateral incisor, short root syndrome, taurodontia, palatally impacted upper permanent canine, teeth transposition, ectopic eruption of teeth and expressive inclination of dental germs, teeth rotation, infraocclusion of deciduous molars, late dental development and late eruption of teeth, defects of hard dental tissues. Our retrospective study focuses on the specific type of hypodontia - agenesis of upper permanent lateral incisor. The anomaly can be diagnosed as early as between the age of 8 and 9, when this tooth usually erupts. The aim of our study was to determine whether patients with missing upper permanent lateral incisor show higher prevalence of other dental anomalies (in comparison with the general population), and whether agenesis of upper permanent lateral incisor may serve as an early warning signal (risk factor) of potential occurrence of other dental anomalies. Material and methods The retrospective study examined orthodontic records of 120 Caucasians (mean age 15.1 years, ± 7.3) with unilateral or bilateral agenesis of upper permanent lateral incisor, patients of the Department of Orthodontics, Clinic of Stomatology of St.Anne's Hospital in Brno, and the private practice of MUDr. JirÏõ Tvardek, between The following criteria were adopted: unilateral or bilateral agenesis of upper permanent lateral incisor proved by clinical and radiological examination, without possible extractions, without prior orthodontic treatment, available complete diagnostic data obtained through anamnesis and clinical examination, orthodontic documentation models, good quality standard OPG. Patients with syndromes and/or clefts in the orofacial area were excluded from the sample, because higher prevalence of dental anomalies are typical for them. The age of patients was between 6 and 43 years. The sample included 45 males (mean age 14.2 years, ± 6.1), and 75 females (mean age 15.6 years, ± 7.9), the proportion of males to females was 1 : In OPGs (sometimes supplemented by an intraoral x-ray or CT examination) and in orthodontic documentary models of each patient in the sample, the following dental anomalies were diagnosed according to defined diagnostic criteria: 1. Microdontia of upper permanent lateral incisor 2. Agenesis of permanent teeth (except third molars), agenesis of upper and lower second premolar was assessed individually 3.

Infraocclusion of deciduous molars Prevalence of individual dental anomalies in the sample of patients with missing upper lateral incisors was compared with reference values for the general population. Reference values were derived from comprehensive population studies. In the case of several studies the criteria for the selection were a number of patients in the sample, Caucasian or European population, and consistent diagnostic criteria. All patients with missing upper lateral incisors came from orthodontic departments. The orthodontic population does not represent the common - non-selected - population, and therefore the prevalence of specific dental anomalies is higher in orthodontic patients than in the rest of the population. In the case of anomalies where the data for orthodontic patients was accessible, the prevalence found in patients with missing upper lateral incisors was compared with these values. In all cases two-sided tests were used - i.e. binomial tests - the correspondence of prevalences was tested against a two-sided alternative (the prevalence may have been higher as well as lower). The frequency of a given anomaly in the sample of patients with missing upper lateral incisors (prevalence estimation) was compared with reference prevalence values given in per cents. The prevalence estimation is calculated as the estimation of a binomial differentiation parameter. In results there is given both point estimation and 95% confidence interval (CI). The results are presented as P-value. Statistically significant differences are on the level of significance of 5% (P-value < 0.05). Diagnostic criteria of dental anomalies used in the study OPGs, sometimes also occlusal radiographs, periapical radiographs and results of CT examinations were evaluated visually during diagnostics of dental anomalies. To evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies visual assessment and measurements of orthodontic models with a caliper ruler were used. The diagnostic criterion of microdontia was the comparison of mesiodistal width of upper lateral incisor and mesiodistal width of lower lateral incisor. If the parameter was identical or smaller, the incisor was diagnosed as microdontic. In the case that the microdontic incisor had normal crown morphology, it redakce@orthodont-cz.cz

The agenesis of a tooth was considered when it was missing in the dental arch, the case history made it clear that it had not been extracted, and OPG did not show the tooth in the relevant calendar age of a patient. In individual types of teeth the different beginning of mineralization of a germ was taken into account. In cases of second premolar and third molar we can see variable beginning of mineralization. On average, second premolar mineralization starts at the age of years, however, it may even start many years later [1]. Therefore, agenesis of second premolar was diagnosed at the age of 10 and later, agenesis of third molars at the age of 14 and later. In case of short root syndrome we monitored only upper permanent first incisors with the finished root development. Radiographs with blurred teeth contours or radiographs biased due to substantial crowding were eliminated from the evaluation. Teeth in which the crown contour was distorted due to caries, injury or expressive abrasion were also eliminated. Short root anomaly (SRA) was represented by cases in which the proportion root/crown (R/C ratio) was 1.0 in both upper central incisors [15]. The measurement method by HoÈ lttaè et al was adopted (Fig. 1) [16]. Taurodontia was monitored in first and second permanent molars in both jaws with the finished root development. Diagnostic criteria proposed by Shiftman and Chanannel were used [17]. According to these criteria, taurodonta is diagnosed when: Distance A-B ³ 0.2 mm, Distance A-Apex and at the same time the distance B-CEJ ³ 2.5 mm, where A is the most occlusal point of pulp cavity, B is the most apical point of pulp cavity, Apex is the most apical point on the longest root, and CEJ is cementoenamel junction. Palatally impacted upper permanent canine was diagnosed in children at the age of 10 or older. OPGs and occlusal radiographs were evaluated with parallax redakce@orthodont-cz.cz 95

Pro diagnoâ zu infraokluze musela byât splneïnanaâ sledujõâcõâ kriteâ- method (also Clark method) to verify palatal location of canine crown [18]. In some patients there was CT examination made. The diagnosis was often proved during surgical exposure of a canine. Transposition of permanent teeth was diagnosed only in cases supported with CT examination, or after the complete eruption of dentition. Ectopic eruption of upper permanent first molar was evaluated in patients only during its eruption. The following diagnostic criteria were used: mesial inclination of eruption, crown in an abnormal contact with distal root of deciduous second molar. In most cases the abnormal eruption results in resorption of a distal part of deciduous second molar. There was not made a difference between reversible and irreversible type of the anomaly. The diagnostic criteria for ectopic eruption and impaction of lower second molar were the following: mesial inclination of eruption, a crown in an abnormal contact with a distal part of a crown or a root of permanent first molar, root development finished at least in 75%. Distoangulation of the lower second premolar germ was evaluated according to a modified method proposed by Shalish et al. [19]. In OPGs the distal angle (in Figure 2 as a) between the longitudinal axis of lower second premolar germ and the mandibular tangent. The mandibular tangent is a tangent to the lower border of the mandible on the relevant side of the jaw. Distoangulation means that the angle is less than 75. Premolars in the stage of development E-G according to Demirjian classification were evaluated [20] (Fig.2).

The anomaly was evaluated in patients with mixed dentition with fully erupted permanent first molars. Patients in which the later anomaly manifestation could not be ruled out were excluded from the evaluation. Results Prevalence of individual dental anomalies in the sample of patients with missing upper lateral incisors was compared (by means of statistical tests) with the reference values for the general population. Six dental anomalies were also compared with values obtained through studies of orthodontic patients. The results are given in Table 1. Statistically significant differences, the level of significance 5% (P-value < 0.05) are given in red. Statistically significant differences between patients with missing upper lateral incisors and the general population were found in the prevalence of microdontia of upper permanent lateral incisor, permanent teeth agenesis (except third molars), agenesis of upper second premolar, agenesis of lower second premolar, agenesis of third molars, taurodontia, palatally impacted upper permanent canine, ectopic eruption and impaction of lower permanent second molar, and distoangulation of lower second premolar germ. The prevalence in all the anomalies given above was higher in the sample of patients with upper lateral incisors agenesis. In the case of upper permanent lateral incisor microdontia, third molars agenesis, supernumerary teeth (hyperodontia), palatally impacted upper permanent canine, ectopic eruption of upper permanent first molar, and infraocclusion of temporary molars, the prevalence in the sample of our patients was compared with the prevalence in orthodontic patients. Statistically significant differences were found in the values for upper permanent lateral incisor microdontia, third molars agenesis, temporary molars infraocclusion, and supernumerary teeth (hyperodontia). In the case of upper permanent lateral incisor microdontia, third molars agenesis, and temporary molars infraocclusion, the prevalence was higher in the analyzed sample of patients than in orthodontic patients. Hyperodontia prevalence was lower than in orthodontic patients. Discussion Since the 60s of the 20th century a lot of authors have been trying to explain the relationship between the occurrences of different dental anomalies. Some authors focused on patients with hypodontia, and proved significantly higher prevalence of associated dental anomalies in these individuals and their relatives redakce@orthodont-cz.cz

9 Some studies monitored patients with agenesis of a given tooth, e.g. lower second premolar [12] or upper permanent lateral incisor [51]. Our retrospective study focused on the prevalence of dental anomalies in people with missing upper permanent lateral incisor, and compared the values with the prevalence of the same dental anomalies in the general population. A statistically significant difference was proved in seven dental anomalies. The prevalence of six dental anomalies in the sample with missing upper permanent lateral incisor was also compared with the values obtained through studies carried on orthodontic patients. The prevalence of upper permanent lateral incisor microdontia (26.7%) was significantly different and higher than in the general population ( %, P-value < 0.001). The prevalence of this anomaly in our sample of patients was also significantly different and higher than in orthodontic patients (4.7% and 4.5%, P-value < 0.001). This corresponds with the published results; these studies established that peg shape upper lateral incisor is often associated with agenesis of contralateral lateral incisor [22, 52, 53, 54]. The result appears to support the idea that the upper lateral incisor agenesis and upper lateral incisor microdontia are phenotype expressions of one and the same genetic defect. The prevalence of permanent teeth agenesis (26.7%), with the exception of third molars, was significantly different and higher than in the general population (5.5%, P-value <0.001). The prevalence of upper second premolar agenesis (5.9%) and lower second premolar (12.8%) was also significantly higher than in the rest of population (1.5%, P-value = , and 3.1%, P-value < Reference values were the results of Polder's meta-analysis based on 33 extensive population studies [1]. The prevalence of third molars agenesis (45.3%) was significantly different and higher than in the general population ( %, P-value 0.002). The prevalence was also significantly higher than in orthodontic population (20.7 and 22.4%, P-value < 0.001). This corresponds with the results of Grahne n [21] who identified missing third molars in approximately 50% of patients affected with agenesis of other teeth. The prevalence of taurodontia (20.5%) was compared with the values given in three comprehensive population studies. In two cases, the prevalence was significantly higher than in the general population (5.6% and 11.3%, P-value < ). However, the comparison with Finnish study [36] did not show statistically significant difference (22%, P-value = ). This may be due to different diagnostic criteria used. We can also observe great ethnic differences in regard to taurodontia prevalence. In our study we used diagnosïõâvyâskyt dalsï õâch dentaâ lnõâch vad u teï chto jedincuê a jejich prïõâbuznyâ ch.

In comparison with their study carried out on 1200 Israelis, the prevalence of taurodontia in patients with missing upper lateral incisor was statistically different and higher (5.6%, P-value < 0.001). The prevalence of palatally impacted upper permanent canine (8.8%) was significantly different and higher than that in the general population (1.53% and 1.7%, P-value < 0.001). Nevertheless, this anomaly prevalence in the sample monitored was not significantly different from that in the orthodontic population (5.2% and 8%, P-value = and P-value = ). While in studies with orthodontic patients authors make difference in impacted upper permanent canine location, and give prevalence for palatally impacted canine, comprehensive population studies of impacted teeth usually make no difference in the location of impacted upper permanent canine. With regard to the fact that palatal position is 2-3 times more frequent than the vestibular one, we can assume that reference values for the general population would be lower in the case the position would be differentiated. The difference in prevalence between the sample of patients and the general population would be even more significant. Though we did not find a significant difference between patients with missing upper lateral incisors and orthodontic patients, we cannot exclude the possible connection and common genetic background in palatally impacted canine and missing upper lateral incisor. In comparison with a control group, Sacerdotiand Baccetti[55] found higher prevalence of palatally impacted canine in patients with missing upper lateral incisor. However, they did not prove reciprocal relationship, i.e. higher prevalence of upper lateral incisor agenesis in patients with palatally impacted canine. The prevalence of ectopic eruption and impaction of lower permanent second molar (1.8%) was compared with values given in four comprehensive population studies. In two cases the prevalence was significantly different and higher than prevalence in the general population (0.06% and 0.15%, P-value = and P- value = ). When compared with population studies by Mead [47], Bondemark and Tsiop [48] the difference was not statistically significant (0.4% and 1.4%, P-value = and P-value = ). The fact may be due to different diagnostic criteria applied. It is rather difficult to find at least two studies using the same diagnostic criteria because there are not many works dealing with the prevalence of ectopic eruption or impaction of lower permanent second molar. Garibe et al [12] observed increased prevalence of mesially inclined lower second molar in patients with missing second premolar. Another work by Garibe et al [51] found redakce@orthodont-cz.cz
