Abstract Background The association between dental anomalies has been studied, giving rise to the concept of Dental Anomaly Pattern (DAP). Tooth agenesis associated with alterations such as molar infracclusion, taurodontism and delayed development. aim this study was evaluate development pattern in patients non-syndromic agenesis, comparison a control group. Methods chronological age analysed sample size 204 orthopantomographs divided into group ( n = 104) 100) Demirjian Method. Intra intergroup differences age, correlation them were calculated by statistical analysis 95% confidence level p < 0.05). Results exceeded both Statistically significant 0.004) found when comparing difference (-0.16 ± 1.12) (-0.58 0.90). Regarding sex differences, results only statistically girls’ 0.017), over 8 years old There no tooth depending on number missing teeth or affected group, but there delay homologous contralateral absent one 14.9% patients. Conclusions permanent dentition is significantly lower Spanish children compared presenting than without agenesis.
