Abstract:
A total of 1619 patients, 502 males and 1117 females, ranging in age from 6.5 to 32 years old were examined. The study used a full set of radiographs, panographs, lateral cephalogram and study models to find the highest prevalence of congenitally missing teeth in class II malocclusion patients and a significant amount of missing maxillary teeth in Class III malocclusion patients.
