The purpose of this study was to test the usefulness of some morphometric parameters of the teeth in 5 different age groups through images of Cone Beam CT. 118 upper central incisors clinically acquired of 60 women and 58 men aged between 22 and 70 years were selected. The hard tissue volume and the pulp cavity volume of each tooth was obtained and computed by the software DentalSlice(®) and the measures were assessed (pulp cavity volume, hard tissue volume, tooth volume and pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio). The pulp cavity volume and the pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio showed significant differences between age groups (p < 0.001). Linear regression analysis showed a coefficient of determination of 0.21 which suggests that there is a weak correlation between the pulp cavity/tooth volume ratio and age.
本研究的目的是通过锥形束CT图像测试5个不同年龄组牙齿的一些形态测量参数的有用性。选择了118颗临床上采集的年龄在22至70岁之间的60名女性和58名男性的上颌中切牙。通过DentalSlice(®)软件获得并计算每颗牙齿的硬组织体积和髓腔体积,并评估各项测量指标(髓腔体积、硬组织体积、牙齿体积和髓腔/牙齿体积比)。髓腔体积和髓腔/牙齿体积比在年龄组之间存在显著差异(p < 0.001)。线性回归分析显示决定系数为0.21,这表明髓腔/牙齿体积比与年龄之间存在弱相关性。
