Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between chronological ages and pulp areas of mandibular canine teeth of patients who underwent orthodontic treatment and patients who never received orthodontic treatment. Methods: 102 patients that completed fixed orthodontic treatment and between the ages of 13-24 and 102 age and sex-matched control group was included in the study. A total of 204 dental panoramic radiographs taken with the same procedures and with the same device (Soredex; Cranex Novus, Tuusula, Finland) were evaluated. The pulp areas of the mandibular canine teeth were measured using the Image J software (US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). Data were analyzed with Independent t-test and Pearson’s rank correlation test. Results: In both the orthodontic group (r = -0,511) and in the control group (r = -0,592), there was a negative correlation between chronological age and pulp area. There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to the pulp area and gender (p> 0.05). Conclusions: Orthodontic treatment did not result in a significant difference in the correlation between the pulp area and the chronological age.Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, ortodontik tedavi gören bireyler ile ortodontik tedavi görmeyen bireylerin kronolojik yaşları ile mandibular kanin dişlerin pulpa alanı arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesidir.Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmaya 13-24 yaşları arasında 102 ortodontik tedavi gören hasta ile 102 ortodontik tedavi görmeyen yaş ve cinsiyet eşleşmeli kontrol grubu dahil edildi. Aynı prosedürlerle ve aynı cihaz ile (Soredex; Cranex Novus, Tuusula, Finlandiya) çekilmiş toplam 204 adet dental panoromik radyograf değerlendirildi. Görüntüler üzerinde mandibular kanin dişlerinin pulpa alanı Image J yazılımı (US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) kullanılarak ölçüldü. Veriler bağımsız t-testi ve Pearson'ın sıralı korelasyon testi ile analiz edildi.Bulgular: Hem ortodontik tedavi gören grupta (r= -0,511) hem de kontrol grubunda (r= -0,592) kronolojik yaş ile pulpa alanı arasında negatif korelasyon olduğu görüldü. Pulpa alanı her iki grupta da cinsiyetten bağımsız bulundu (p>0.05). Sonuç: Ortodontik tedavi pulpa hacmi ile kronolojik yaş arasındaki korelasyon üzerinde önemli bir fark oluşturmamıştır.
