Abstract

Objectives: 1. To determine the prevalence and associated factors of hypodontia through documents written in the literature from 2012 to 2022 Subjects and methods: a systematic review of the prevalence of hypodontia and some associated factors. Search strategies with 3 databases PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science was conducted to find out 2892 articles. After excluding duplicate articles and titles and abstracts screening process, 136 articles were included in the full-text analysis. Then, 41 articles were included in the meta-analysis. Results: the prevalence of congenital missing teeth (hypodontia) was found to be 6.7% (95%KTC: 6-8%). The prevalence of hypodontia in men was 7.9% (95%KTC: 5.1 – 10.7) and in women was 8.1% (95%KTC: 5.8 – 10.5). Females were found to have a higher prevalence than males (OR 1.11, CI: 0,93-1,32), but there is no statistical significance. The prevalence of hypodontia in patients with one tooth missing was 4.8% (95%KTC: 0.4 - 9.3) and two teeth missing was 4.6% (95%KTC: 0.1-9.5). The prevalence of hypodontia in outpatients was 6.3% (95%KTC: 4.2-9.3), orthodontic patients was 7.5% (95%KTC: 6.0-9.0) and children was 6.1% (95%KTC:4,1-8.1). Conclusions: The prevalence of hypodontia varied between studies and reached the overall prevalence of 6.7% (95%KTC: 6-8%). There was a higher prevalence of hypodontia in females than in males.
