Mesiodistal Width of Mandibular Central Incisors between Different Genders in Chennai Population Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Abstract

Background: Using the CBCT, this technique has the ability to identify the proper dimensions of themesiodistal width of the tooth and other clearing techniques that in the past have been of higher value tothe other conventional techniques that can be implemented to give a three-dimensional perspective of thecomplete morphological details. With this, analysing the mesiodistal width of mandibular central incisorsbetween male and female based on CBCT can be accomplished.Methods: One hundred Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images from different patients areselected randomly from Department of Oral Radiology of Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, India.All the CBCT images of patients are examined for the inclusion criterias in the mesiodistal width of themandibular incisors between different genders. All mesiodistal width of mandibular central incisors betweendifferent genders are investigated and compared.Conclusion:When both the genders were compared in terms of the number of canals, there was a significantdifference seen (p-value: 0.000002208). With the p-value calculated, it was found that there was a significantdifference between the genders in terms of the distance between the occlusal pit to the pulp chamber (p-value:<0.0000001). Overall, there is no significant difference between the two genders at the level of the cervicalthird (p-value: 0.6554).
