Abstract
The aimed to evaluate the association between dental agenesis and mesiodistal dimensions of permanent teeth in a Brazilian population. Dental agenesis was diagnosed using panoramic radiographs and anamnesis. Dental dimensions were evaluated using dental casts for orthodontic diagnosis and a digital caliper. Mann-Whitney test compared the tooth measurements between groups (p<0.05). The associations between dental agenesis and mesiodistal dimensions were analyzed by a general linear model adjusted by sex (p<0.05). Statistical differences were observed in the total group and the other agenesis group. Maxillary right canine, mandibular left second premolar, mandibular left first molar, and mandibular right first molar demonstrated dental dimensions were bigger in the total dental agenesis group (p<0.05). Maxillary right canine, maxillary right first molar, mandibular left first premolar, mandibular left second premolar, mandibular left first molar, and mandibular right first molar demonstrated bigger dental dimensions in the other agenesis group (p<0.05). Dental agenesis were associated with mesiodistal dimensions of permanent teeth in a Brazilian population.
