In our study, it was aimed to determine whether there were differences in genial tubercle dimensions depending on age and gender.
In this study, 220 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients (110 female and 110 male) between the ages of 20-80 years were obtained from the archive of İzmir Katip Çelebi University Faculty of Dentistry. All patients were divided into decade groups according to their age, and each decade group was divided into two subgroups according to gender. The genial tubercle was defined radiologically using axial, coronal and sagittal sections as well as 3D reconstruction image with NNT software program. Sagittal, vertical and horizontal dimensions of the genial tubercle were measured and statistically analyzed.
There was a weak negative correlation between age groups and vertical values (r=-0.142; p=0.036) whereas the correlation coefficients between age groups and sagittal and horizontal values were not statistically significant (r=-0.043; p=0.530 and r=-0.039; p=0.563). There was a strong positive correlation between vertical and sagittal values in men (r=0.705, p<0.001) and women (r=0.714, p<0.001) in the whole group. There was a weak positive correlation between horizontal and sagittal, horizontal and vertical values in men (r=0.362, p<0.001; r=0.231, p<0.001) and women (r=0.304, p<0.001; r=0.257, p=0.007) in the whole group.
The vertical and horizontal dimensions of genial tubercle of men were higher than that of women. As the age of the patients increased, a decrease in the vertical values of the genial tubercle was observed.
在我们的研究中，旨在确定颏结节尺寸是否因年龄和性别而存在差异。
在本研究中，从伊兹密尔卡迪普·切莱比大学牙科学院存档中获取了220例年龄在20 - 80岁之间患者的锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）图像（110名女性和110名男性）。所有患者根据年龄分为十年组，每个十年组再根据性别分为两个亚组。使用轴向、冠状和矢状面图像以及NNT软件程序的三维重建图像对颏结节进行放射学定义。测量颏结节的矢状、垂直和水平尺寸并进行统计学分析。
年龄组与垂直值之间存在弱负相关（r = -0.142；p = 0.036），而年龄组与矢状和水平值之间的相关系数无统计学意义（r = -0.043；p = 0.530和r = -0.039；p = 0.563）。在整个组中，男性（r = 0.705，p < 0.001）和女性（r = 0.714，p < 0.001）的垂直和矢状值之间存在强正相关。在整个组中，男性（r = 0.362，p < 0.001；r = 0.231，p < 0.001）和女性（r = 0.304，p < 0.001；r = 0.257，p = 0.007）的水平与矢状、水平与垂直值之间存在弱正相关。
男性颏结节的垂直和水平尺寸高于女性。随着患者年龄的增加，观察到颏结节的垂直值减小。
