IFs were categorised by anatomic region and assigned a significance level based on a custom\u2010made risk assessment tool. Twelve selected images were evaluated by 30 orthodontists via a standardised online survey. Participants were tasked with reviewing each image, providing a radiological interpretation, and indicating whether a referral would be needed prior to commencing orthodontic treatment. The responses were scored against those of an expert oral and maxillofacial radiologist (OMFR). Inter\u2010observer agreement was evaluated by computing the Cohen's <jats:italic>K<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of IFs was 30.8%. The most common findings were impacted teeth (17.7%), hypodontia (14.9%) and dense bone islands (14.7%).
