Development of dental charts according to tooth development and eruption for Turkish children and young adults

Abstract

PurposeIn this study, we aimed to develop dental charts for Turkish children and young adults of both genders within the age group of 4.5-22.5 years according to tooth mineralization and eruption in a format similar to that proposed by AlQahtani et al.Materials and MethodsIn total, 753 digital panoramic radiographs from 350 males and 403 females were assessed. The permanent teeth were evaluated according to the classification system described by Demirjian et al. The eruption stage was assessed with Bengston's system, which was modified by AlQahtani et al at four points.ResultsTeeth generally developed earlier in females than in males. This was particularly notable in the age group of 5-14 years. However, this difference was usually visible in only one stage, not in all teeth. It has been determined that the mixed dentition period ended with the shedding of the second deciduous molars in both genders.ConclusionThe dental charts presented here included information that could be beneficial to dental clinicians in making appropriate diagnosis and planning orthodontic and surgical procedures. These charts also provided datasets for preliminary dental age estimation in Turkish children and young adults.

Age Estimation and its Adaptation of the Turkish Children Using Modified Demirjian’s Method

“…However, it is observed at all groups that crown-root formation earlier completed in the Turkish children and young adults. In previous studies conducted in Turkish populations, it has been reported that dentition shows gender differentiation, with that in females preceding that in males [13][14][15]17,19,21]. Karadayi et al [19] described that this difference was usually in only one stage and not in all teeth.…”

Karadayi et al [19] described that this difference was usually in only one stage and not in all teeth. In this study, similarly with Karadayi et al [19] females show faster dental maturation than males in one stage (17.0-17.9) (P=006) ( Table 1).…”

“…There are some studies in the literature evaluate the applicability of Demirjian method for Turkish population between 2010 and 2015 [13][14][15][17][18][19]. In all studies, the applicability of Demirjian method is not suitable for Turkish population [14,15,18] (Table 3).…”

Yaş Tahmininde Diş Gelişim Atlasının Yeri ve Önemi

“…Son yıllarda ise AlQahtani ve arkadaşları (13) tarafından Londra atlası ve Blenkin ve Taylor (14) tarafından Avustralyalı çocuklara spesifik birer atlas daha yayınlanmıştır. Bu alanda en son yayınlanan atlas K a r a d a y ı v e a r k a d a ş l a r ı t a r a f ı n d a n T ü r k i y e popülasyonuna özgü oluşturulan atlastır (15). Bu atlas 5-22 yaş aralığında ve her iki cinsiyet için yaşlara göre diş gelişimini gösteren çizimleri içermektedir.…”
