Abstract

Background: Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare developmental dental anomaly with unknown prevalence. Current knowledge is largely limited to individual case reports.

Aim: This study aims to present epidemiological data, clinical features, and radiographic characteristics of pediatric and adolescent patients with RO in South Korea.

Design: In this multicenter cohort study, we prospectively and retrospectively recruited participants from 11 university dental hospitals. Patients aged < 19 years diagnosed with RO were included in this study. In prospective cases, epidemiological information, family history, and clinical and radiographic data were collected after obtaining parental consent. All data were anonymized and stored using a study-specific data management system.

Results: Age at diagnosis ranged from 2 to 12 years, with a higher incidence in males. RO was more commonly observed in the maxilla, and all patients exhibited delayed eruption and development. The treatment approaches vary widely and include observation, extraction, pulp therapy, crown restoration, prosthetic rehabilitation, and orthodontic treatment.

Conclusion: This multicenter study provides the first comprehensive dataset on RO in Korean children and adolescents. These findings will contribute to the development of clinical guidelines and inform future healthcare policies for the management of rare dental anomalies.

韩国儿童区域性牙发育不良的流行病学和临床特征：一项多中心病例系列研究。

背景：局部牙发育不良（RO）是一种罕见的发育性牙齿异常，患病率不详。目前的知识主要局限于个案报告。目的：本研究旨在介绍韩国儿童和青少年RO患者的流行病学资料、临床特征和影像学特征。设计：在这项多中心队列研究中，我们前瞻性和回顾性地从11所大学牙科医院招募了参与者。结果：诊断时年龄在2 - 12岁之间，男性发病率较高。RO多见于上颌骨，所有患者均表现出延迟的出疹和发育。治疗方法多种多样，包括观察、拔牙、牙髓治疗、冠修复、修复体康复和正畸治疗。结论：这项多中心研究提供了韩国儿童和青少年RO的第一个综合数据集。这些发现将有助于临床指南的发展，并告知未来的卫生保健政策，以管理罕见的牙齿异常。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide. International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
