    Summary

    A systematic dental health screening of 791 individuals found dental anomalies in 45.8%, with older adults experiencing higher prevalence. This highlights the need for proactive dental examinations in seemingly healthy populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Public Health
    • Radiography

    Background:

    • Systematic screening programs are crucial for understanding population dental health.
    • Previous studies have indicated varying prevalence of dental anomalies across different demographics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence and patterns of dental anomalies in a service company population.
    • To investigate the influence of age and sex on the occurrence of dental anomalies.

    Main Methods:

    • A multicenter study involving 791 participants and their spouses.
    • Systematic panoramic dental radiography was employed for all participants.
    • Data analysis included statistical comparison based on age groups and sex.

    Main Results:

    • Dental anomalies were detected in 45.8% of the studied population.
    • Positive cases averaged 2.4 anomalies per individual.
    • Anomalies were significantly more frequent in older age groups (over 45 years) compared to younger groups (under 35 years).

    Conclusions:

    • The high prevalence of dental anomalies underscores the importance of regular dental check-ups.
    • Panoramic radiography is an effective tool for detecting asymptomatic dental pathologies.
    • Further active screening for dental pathologies in healthy populations is recommended.
