Local and systemic factors may be responsible for these developmental disturbances. Such influences may begin before or after birth, hence deciduous or permanent teeth may be affected.

Materials and Methods: A sample of 500 patients were screened for the presence of Oral anomalies reporting at ITS-CDSR OPD and dental camps. A comprehensive clinical examination, radiological examination along with dental casts and photographs were taken to detect the developmental anomalies.

Results: Out of total 500 patients screened, 62 patients, that is 12.4% had developmental anomalies in oral cavity.

Conclusion: The present study was done to evaluate the prevalence and distribution of developmental anomalies in population in and around Ghaziabad so that appropriate treatment modalities can be followed if required.

Keywords: Dental Anomalies, Prevalence, Dental Casts.
