“…The results of the study are in accordance with the studies done by Yilmaz et al [14] who stated that there was no statistical difference in the incidence of nutrient canals between normotensive and hypertensive patients. The studies by Jaju et al [11] also had similar findings which stated that the incidence of nutrient canals was almost the same in hypertensive and the normal group. The results of this study are also in accordance with that of Patni et al [6] who stated that there was an increased incidence of nutrient canals in hypertensive patients as compared to the healthy group.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was a correlation between the presence or absence of nutrient canals in intraoral periapical radiographs (IOPAR) and the two most common systemic diseases, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The study included 150 patients selected due to the inclusion criteria detailed in the methods section. The results revealed that although there was no statistically significant correlation between the presence of nutrient canals and the two systemic diseases studied, their presence on IOPARs should raise the suspicion and warrant further investigation.

“…Our study showed the higher incidence of nutrient canals in the study group (55.2%) when compared to control group (36.2%) which was in accordance to the two previous studies reported. [3589] The principal effects of hypertension are dilatation of arterioles, hypertrophy, and hyperplasia of the vessel wall and arteriosclerosis. In arteriosclerosis, along with thickening of the arterial wall, there is narrowing of the lumen, which may lead to the opening of more collateral, or both of these changes may be responsible for the increased incidence of nutrient canals in hypertensive patients.…”

Objectives:To determine if any correlation exists in the presence of nutrient canals in hypertensive patients and nonhypertensive patients, to compare the incidence of nutrient canals in different age groups, and also to compare the incidence of nutrient canals between dentulous and edentulous patients.Materials and Methods:This study was carried out on patients, who were divided into a control group comprising of healthy individuals, without history of hypertension and a study group of patients with the history of hypertension. The necessary information like age of the patient, presence or absence of hypertension, its duration, and blood pressure were recorded. An intraoral periapical radiograph of lower anterior region was made using bisecting angle technique and was interpreted. The presence or absence of nutrient canals, bone loss, and the levels of bone loss were recorded. The results so obtained were subjected to statistical analysis.Results:We found that the incidence of nutrient canals was statistically higher in the study group (55.2%) as compared to the control group (36.2%). The incidence of nutrient canals was also found to be increased with, the age till 60 years, amount of alveolar bone loss and in edentulous patients.Conclusion:Hypertension being one of the most commonly encountered medical problems in dental practice and many cases being undiagnosed, the presence of nutrient canal though not entirely indicative of hypertension, should increase the suspicion of the condition to be investigated further.

“…Nutrient canals are frequently observed in the dental periapical radiographs, and they are considered to serve as conduits for blood vessels and nerves 4 . The predominance of nutrient canals in the anterior region is attributed to a thin alveolar process, horizontally arranged trabeculae and decreased bony support of cortical and cancellous bone which is more prone to irritation from calculus and trauma 1 .…”

Purpose: Periapical dental radiography, despite being two dimensional and limited in size appears to be the best projection to identify the nutrient canals in the mandibular anterior region. A study was undertaken to evaluate the presence of mandibular nutrient canals in the anterior region using intra oral periapical films in subjects with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, completely and partially edentulous mandible, periodontally compromised subjects and in post menopausal women and was compared with controls. Material and Method: The study consisted of seven groups each with 50 subjects. The radiographic analysis of the anterior mandible was done using the intra oral periapical radiographs and the presence or absence of nutrient canals was evaluated. Results: A statistical increase in the prevalence of nutrient canals was observed in all the study groups. The nutrient canals were present in 8% in the control group, 34 % in the hypertensive group, 60% in the diabetes group, 72% in subjects with both diabetes and hypertension, 70% in completely and partially edentulous patients, 62 % in the periodontitis group and 50% in the post menopausal women. Conclusion:The presence of nutrient canals can be used as an adjunct diagnostic marker for detection of underlying systemic diseases. Key words: Nutrient,diabetes, dental. ÖZETAmaç: Periapikal dental radyografi , iki boyutlu ve boyutun sınırlı olmasına rağmen, alt çenenin ön bölgesindeki besin kanallarını belirlemek için en iyi projeksiyon tipi olarak görülür. Çalışma; hipertansiyona , diabetes mellitus a, tamamen ve kısmen dişsiz alt çeneye sahip kişilerde, periodontal olarak risk taşıyan hastalarda ve menopoz sonrası kadınlarda intraoral periapikal filmler kullanılarak ön bölgedeki mandibular besin kanallarının varlığını ölçmeyi hedeflemiştir ve sonuçlar kontrollerle kıyaslanmıştır. Materyal ve metod: Çalışma her biri 50 deneği içeren 7 gruptan oluşmuştur. Anterior mandibulanın radyografik analizi intra oral periapikal radyografiler kullanılarak yapıldı ve besin kanalların varlığı veya yokluğu değerlendirildi . Araştırma Makalesi / Research Article 661Castelino et al. Cukurova Medical JournalBulgular: Besin kanalların prevalansındaki istatistiksel artış , tüm çalışma gruplarında gözlendi. Besin kanalları kontrol grubunun % 8' inde , hipertansif grubun % 34' ünde , diyabet grubu'nun % 60'ında , hem diyabeti hem de hipertansiyonu olan hastaların % 72'sinde, tamamen ya da kısmen dişsiz hastaların % 70'inde , periodontitis grubun % 62'sinde ve menopoz sonrası kadınların % 50'sinde bulunmaktadır. Sonuç: Besin kanallarının varlığı, altta yatan sistematik hastalıkların tespiti için yardımcı tanı belirteci olarak kullanılabilir.
