The study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of taurodontism and related systemic condi-tions and gender differences in premolars and molars of patients attending Shiraz Faculty of Dentistry.
In this cross-sectional study, panoramic radiographs of 510 randomly selected patients were evaluated by a maxillofacial radiologist for the apically displaced pulp chamber. Detailed medical and family history of the patients was obtained.
The prevalence of taurodontism in 510 panoramic views was 5.5% of patients. Females had significantly higher prevalence of taurodontism than men (P>0.05) and mandibular second molar was the most affected tooth.
Taurodontism was relatively common in population under study. A family history of other anomalies should be checked for affected patients.
本研究旨在评估设拉子牙科学院患者前磨牙和磨牙中牛牙样牙的患病率、相关全身状况及性别差异。
在这项横断面研究中,一位颌面放射科医生对510名随机选取患者的全景X线片进行评估,以观察牙髓腔根尖移位情况。获取了患者详细的医学和家族病史。
在510张全景片中,牛牙样牙的患病率为5.5%。女性牛牙样牙的患病率显著高于男性(P>0.05),下颌第二磨牙是受影响最严重的牙齿。
在所研究人群中,牛牙样牙相对常见。对于受影响患者,应检查其家族中其他异常情况的病史。
