Objective: To identify the prevalence and characteristics of numerical dental anomalies through panoramic radiographic examinations. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted using a database from a dental radiology clinic in Feira de Santana, Northeast Brazil, with radiographs from the period between 2019 and 2021. Data were tabulated in Excel, including information on quantity, gender, age, location, and year of the radiographs. Statistical analyses were performed using R software version 4.2.3 and the RStudio IDE. Results: The majority of patients were female (53%), and the group had a median age of 14.8 years. The location of the anomalies in the oral cavity varied among patients, with 41% in the mandible, 34% in the maxilla, and 24% in both arches. The results revealed a statistically significant association between age and the type of dental anomaly studied, which was not observed in relation to gender or location. Conclusion: This research stems from the need to understand the prevalence of these anomalies, thereby contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge and the development of more effective strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Keywords: dental anomalies, panoramic X-ray, prevalence.
