dc.description.abstractAim: The present study aimed to examine the prevalence of incidental dental anomalies and jawbone pathologies in a group of pediatric patients from the Eastern Mediterranean region. Material and Methods: Sociodemographic data of the patients were extracted from digital automation records. Moreover, panoramic radiography archives of pediatric patients, who applied to the School of Dentistry, Sutcu Imam University for examination for any reason, were scanned so that dental anomalies and jawbone pathologies were determined. The study was conducted by an oral and maxillofacial radiologist. Results: The study examined the panoramic radiographs of 1432 pediatric patients aged 5-17 years. The most prevalent incidental dental anomaly and jawbone pathology were impacted teeth (4.8%) and periapical lesion (21.8%), respectively. Nevertheless, while the least prevalent incidental dental anomalies were ectopic teeth (0.2%), taurodontism, and macrodontia (0.6%), we found the least prevalent pathological finding to be odontoma (0.2%). Discussion: This retrospective study on a group of pediatric patients from the Eastern Mediterranean region revealed that the most prevalent dental anomaly was impacted teeth, while the most prevalent pathology was periapical lesion. Ultimately, in the early detection of such findings, all regions should be routinely evaluated in panoramic radiographys.
