title: [Prevalence of dental agenesis: a radiologic and clinical study in Dakar].
abstract: A total of 1007 files were studied with regard to the prevalence of congenitally missing teeth. All patients were radiographed. 4.56% were found to have at least one congenitally missing tooth. The lower second premolar was the most commonly missing tooth in this study (41.66%), followed by the upper lateral incisor (22.2%). The prevalence and the distribution of dental agenesis between male and female was similar.
