Exploring the relationship between age and the pulp and tooth size in canines. A CBCT analysis

Radiographic methods using pulp-tooth volume ratio (PTVR) are important for dental age estimation. According to previous studies, PTVR possesses different relationships with in males and females but none of the studies have used a homogenous (approximately equal numbers individuals each range) distribution assess this relationship effect sex as predictor on This study was performed Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)images 521 left maxillary 681 mandibular canines 719 subjects Pakistani origin (368 349 males) aged from 15 65 years.
