Abstract :Aim Inverted teeth are a very rare anomaly. In addition, there has been no detailed research on the subject except case reports. The aim of this study is to provide information about the radiologic and demographic features of inverse teeth. Material-Methods Between January 2016 and December 2022, 154 inverse teeth that were detected in panoramic radiographs taken for diagnostic purposes in the Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology of our faculty between January 2016 and December 2022 were included in the study. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS V23. Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables according to groups. Significance level was taken as p<0.050. Results Of the 154 cases, 61 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(39.6%); were female and 93 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(60.4%); were male and 148 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(96.1%); cases were seen in the maxilla and 6 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.9%); in the mandible. 36 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(23.4%); cases were seen on the right side, 45 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(29.2%); on the left side and 73 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(47.4%); in the midline. A statistically significant difference was observed in the distribution of inverse tooth types and the side of the teeth according to gender insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Conclusion Inverted teeth are a very rare anomaly. As with all impacted inverted teeth, it should be kept in mind that pathologies related to these teeth may develop and the patient should be informed about this for routine control.
