Abstract EN
There are few published studies that report the prevalence of intraoral anomalies for young children.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and distribution of several congenital oral and paraoral anomalies in Taiwanese children under age six.
Twenty-five cities and townships were randomly sampled in different areas of Taiwan using the stratified method.
These cities and townships represent cross-sectional samples of geographic locations and socioeconomic levels.
A total of 981 Taiwanese children under age six were examined with dental mirrors and explorers as part of the national dental survey.
The results of this survey indicated an 11.31% prevalence of geographic tongue.
This number is higher than that reported in studies previously performed in different countries.
The occurrence of double teeth in primary dentition was found to be 2.14%.
Ankyloglossia had a frequency of 1.22%, and primary talon cusp a frequency of 0.61%.
Seven (0.71%) children exhibited fissured tongues.
Thirteen (1.33%) cases of hypodontia were found.
These values were different from those reported in several other countries, which may be attributed to differences in the ethnic and racial composition of the population studied.
