Age assessment in canine and premolar by cervical axial sections of cone-beam computed tomography

Relationship Between Pulp Tooth Area Ratio and Chronological Age Using Cone‐beam Computed Tomography Images

“…In contrast to these studies, Nemsi et al. assessing upper canines and lower second premolar teeth, as well as Dehghani et al. and Jeevan et al.…”

“… reported no correlation between PTR and chronological age using sagittal and coronal sections of maxillary canine teeth on CBCT images, but there was a significant correlation using the axial section. In some studies, the correlation between chronological age and PTR differed according to tooth group, but not in other studies . In this study, central teeth were used because of the large volume of pulp, the ease of performing radiographic measurements, and the presence of a large scale age group.…”

“…Cone‐beam computed tomography provides accurate anatomical information on sagittal, axial, coronal, and multiplanar sections for diagnosis and treatment planning for clinicians. For this reason, CBCT was used in a variety of studies to investigate the relationship between age and secondary dentin accumulation such as pulp tooth area ratio (PTR) , pulp volume , and pulp tooth volume ratio .…”

Investigation of the Relationship Between the Pulp Area and Chronological Age in Patients that Received and Not Received Orthodontic Treatment

“…Many tissues are used for age determination (3). Skeletal structures and teeth are the most commonly used tissues for age determination in both dead and living individuals (4,5). The teeth are more preferred biomarkers in age determination than skeletal structures in both dead and living individuals, as teeth are resistant to thermal, chemical and mechanical factors and therefore can protect their existence after death (6,7).…”

“…Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) allows for the 3-dimensional quantitative analysis of dental structures, but it is an unsuitable method for the prediction of age in living individuals. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is used frequently in age estimation methods and allows the 3D (dimensional) evaluation of dental structures without superposition and distortion (1,5,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). However, periapical and panoramic radiography techniques that give a 2D image provide more limited imaging compared to CBCT, but it allows the living individuals to be exposed to less ionized radiation (1).…”
