Sažetak

The aim of this study was to assess the nature of hypodontia in a
sample of 2066 orthodontic patients (aged (8—20 years) from Zadar. Con­genital tooth deficiency was determined by clinical and radiographic ex­aminations, excluding wisdom teeth and syndromes. The results showed 114 (5.52%) subjects to have a congenital tooth deficiency. In females, hypodontia was found to be more common, and microdontia, with upper lateral incisors prevailing, significantly more frequent than in males. Most often, a single tooth was missing only (60.52%). Upper lateral incisor was the most commonly missing tooth (17.12%). The maxilla was fond to hemore frequently affected. Concerning combinations of hypodontia and orthodontic anomalies, it was most frequently associated with compres­sion, hypodontia as a sole defect, and prognathism.
