Differences chronological age and dental age using Demirjian method based upon a study radiology using radiography panoramic at the Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital

Abstract

The aim of this literature review was to study the underlying mechanisms of the association between periodontal disease and prostate cancer. Methods: This study was literature review study, pubmed searching was used to find scientific article about association of periodontal disease and prostate cancer. Results: Direct correlation between periodontal disease and prostrate cancer is still unclear. It was hyphotesized that microorganisms involved in chronic periodontitis may directly induce mutations in the tumor-suppresor genes and proto-oncogenes or alter the signalling pathways that in turn stimulates cancer growth. Conclusion: Periodontal disease may associate to prostate cancer by mutation induction in tumor-suppresor genes.

The Relationship between Chronological Age, Dental Age, and Salivary Alkaline Phosphatase in Indonesian Children Aged 8-14 Years: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Demirjian’s method has been the most widely used method and considered as the gold standard for dental age estimation 19 . Several literatures supports Demirjian’s method for dental age estimation in Northeastern Turkish children 20 , Malay population 21 , Western Chinese children 22 , Malaysian children 23 , Belgaum population 24 , Lucknow children 25 , Indian children 19 , and Indonesian children 26-28 .…”

Dental Age Estimation of Indonesian Population : A Literature Review

“…There were 14 studies found from the conducted search, which summarized in Table 1. The age coverage of the most study was young adult and children (71%) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . Only three studies which involved age range more than 25 years [21][22][23] .…”

“…Only three studies which involved age range more than 25 years [21][22][23] . The youngest age of population involved in the studies was 4 years and the oldest was 73 years 11,22,23 . There is one study which did not specifically mentioned the age range information 24 .…”

“…The age's range and sample options are related to which age estimation method should be used in the studies. The most age estimation method applied in Indonesian population was Demirjian's method, with or without modification (35.71%) 11,12,15,16,21 , followed by TCI-Benindra's method (21.42%) [18][19][20] , and the other methods (7.14%-13%), as presented in Figure 1. Panoramic radiograph was the most used sample for the studies (53%) 11,12,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]23 , followed by clinical examination (17%) 13,14,24 , periapical radiograph (12%) 18,19 , lateral cephalometric radiograph (12%) 18,19 , and CBCT (6%) 22 (Figure 2).…”
