To assess dental maturation in children with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and compare their estimated dental age with the age of non-AI children.
Panoramic radiographs of children with (n = 27) and without (n = 54) AI were retrospectively collected in the ratio of 1:2. The former consisted of case group, while the latter figured as control group. Both groups were paired by sex and age (P > .05). Dental maturation was assessed in each radiograph using Demirjian's staging technique and Willems' method. Intra- and interexaminer reproducibility reached >0.8. The mean estimated dental age in subjects with AI was 12.5 ± 2.69 years, while in subjects without AI it was 11.73 ± 2.48 years (P = .21). The comparison of mean chronological (12.26 ± 2.6 years) and estimated dental age (12.5 ± 2.69 years) in subjects with AI did not reveal statistically significant differences (P = .38).
This study highlights the similarity of dental maturation between subjects with and without AI from the radiographic perspective of crown-root formation.
评估釉质发育不全(AI)患儿的牙齿成熟度,并将其估计牙龄与非AI患儿的年龄进行比较。
回顾性收集AI患儿(n = 27)和非AI患儿(n = 54)的全景X线片,比例为1:2。前者为病例组,后者为对照组。两组按性别和年龄配对(P > 0.05)。使用德米尔坚分期技术和威廉姆斯方法对每张X线片的牙齿成熟度进行评估。检查者内和检查者间的重复性均>0.8。AI患儿的平均估计牙龄为12.5±2.69岁,而非AI患儿为11.73±2.48岁(P = 0.21)。AI患儿的实际年龄(12.26±2.6岁)与估计牙龄(12.5±2.69岁)的比较未显示出统计学上的显著差异(P = 0.38)。
本研究从牙冠 - 牙根形成的影像学角度突出了AI患儿和非AI患儿牙齿成熟度的相似性。
