Abstract

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dental anomalies and to examine the patients based on various factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, anomaly presence, and type, as well as systemic conditions. In total, 385 patient records, including both Saudi and non-Saudi individuals, were reviewed using convenient sampling. Participants aged 18 years and older were included in the study. The results showed that 47.8% of the patients had normal teeth, while 52.2% showed at least one anomaly. The most common anomalies found were dilacerations (11.65%), congenitally missing teeth (24.9%), impactions (59.7%) and Other anomalies identified included ectopic eruption (1%), odontoma (5.5%), and taurodontism (2.2%). While impactions, congenitally missing teeth, and dilacerations were the most frequent anomalies, no statistically significant difference was found when comparing the data based on gender or nationality.
