3D CBCT human adult odontometrics: Comparative assessment in Saudi, Jordan and Egypt population

Abstract

ObjectivesTo inspect the human adult odontometrics by the assistance of 3D cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) imaging in Saudi, Jordan and Egypt population.Materials and MethodsData of this cross sectional study from 252 subject were analysed by 3D CBCT volumetric data in college of dentistry, Aljouf University, from December 2016 to May 2017. All measurements were done by 3D on demand software. The tooth size from 2nd molar to 2nd molar of maxillary and mandibular arch was measured. Independent t test and ANOVA were used to examine the differences between gender and among Arabic population (Saudi, Jordan and Egypt) on the all tooth size.ResultsComparison between the right and left side odontometrics were significantly dissimilar in 9 out of 14 pairs (p < 0.05). The odontometrics of the 2nd molar to 2nd molar tooth of maxillary and mandibular arch between gender and among Saudi, Jordan and Egypt population were insignificant (p > 0.05).Conclusion3D CBCT imaging permits us to measure the tooth size effectively and accurately. Based on results, significant asymmetry was revealed in 9 out of 14 pairs in relation to side disparities. No significant differences in tooth size between gender and among races were found. CBCT can elevate the record keeping problem, human adult odontometrics for the analysis can be obtained directly from the digital image.

Odontometric analysis using CBCT for sexual dimorphism in Egyptian-Fayoum population in case of normal occlusion

“…Our results on canine measurements (MD width) differ than that attained by Alam et al, 2019, [42] who inspect the adult odontometrics by using 3D CBCT imaging in Various populations Saudi, Jordan and Egyptian population and they found that male showed larger measurements than female but without any significant differences. They finally, concluded that, the odontometric morphometry did not showed any variation in gender dimorphism.…”

Cone Beam Computerized Tomographic Analysis of Collum Angle of the Maxillary Central Incisors in Different Types of Malocclusion: Comparative Assessment in Saudi, Jordan and Egypt Subpopulation

“…However, superimposition of structures is a main disadvantage in lateral cephalometric radiographs [ 3 ]. Presently, CBCT has been used because of its three dimensional capacity to evaluate the anatomic structures of the maxilla, mandible, and teeth [ 5 ]. CBCT is a revolutionary discovery that is being widely used in all fields of dentistry, including orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery/pathology, periodontics, and implant treatment planning [ 4 , 6 ].…”

“…CBCT is a revolutionary discovery that is being widely used in all fields of dentistry, including orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery/pathology, periodontics, and implant treatment planning [ 4 , 6 ]. CBCT data provides additional benefits like availability of the images produced, and reducing the storage expenses [ 5 ]. Hence these advanced radiographic assessment methods provide more precise and reliable tools for obtaining tooth measurements.…”

3D CBCT Analysis of Odontometric Variables for Gender Dimorphism in Saudi Arabian Subpopulation

“…3 Odontometric analysis using direct measuring ways has been done using hand-held digital calipers, 2D digital model, graphical illustration to record dimensions on dental casts, digital impression model, 3D CBCT model, and laser scanned model. 4 3D CBCT has made it possible to conduct odontometric measurements in threedimension and providing a lot of precise and consistent tools. 5 It conjointly offers additional advantages like availability of images created, decrease in storage expenses and the facility to gauge the pictures by refined software.…”

“…All these options strengthen the credibility and reliability of 3D CBCT method for the odontometric morphometry. 4 Despite conducting thorough literature review, no study could be found that has tested this methodology among Saudi population. Hence, the current study was conducted with an aim to examine the accuracy and reliability of MCI in sex determination among Saudi population by in vivo 3D CBCT.…”
