Abstract

In pediatric dentistry, congenital tooth loss and dental anomalies represent a significant global challenge, inducing severe functional, aesthetic, and socio-psychological complications in developing children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of tooth agenesis exhibits geographic and ethnic variations, with global prevalence rates ranging widely from 2.2% to 14.7%. Meta-analyses indicate a global average prevalence of approximately 6.4%, with regional variations highli ghting up to 13.4% in African populations, roughly 7% in Europe, and 6.3% across Asian cohorts. Clinical screenings within specific pediatric populations further underscore the magnitude of this pathology; for instance, certain clinical evaluations within the 5–13 age group reported agenesis rates reaching 11.31%. Tooth agenesis is conventionally classified by severity into hypodontia (absence of 1 to 5 teeth), oligodontia (absence of 6 or more teeth), and anodontia (complete absence of teeth).
