Age Estimation by Assessment of Dentin Translucency in Single Rooted Permanent Teeth
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND To estimate the age by evaluating the area and length of dentin translucency in single-rooted ground sections of extracted teeth using digital Vernier caliper and stereomicroscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ground sections of single rooted permanent anterior teeth were made and stained with 1% methylene blue. The area and length of dentin translucency were measured using digital Vernier caliper and with the help of stereomicroscope. RESULTS Linear regressive analysis showed that estimation of age by assessing the area of dentin translucency with Vernier caliper was statistically significant and showed a high regression co-efficient (R = 0.7738) when compared to evaluation of age by assessment of length. Multilinear regressive analysis done to calculate age by both area and length also showed a high co-efficient of regression (R = 0.7797). CONCLUSION The area of dentin translucency showed good correlation with age when compared to the length.

A comparative study of efficacy of single rooted and double rooted teeth in age estimation using dentin translucency.
BACKGROUND Among various methods of age estimation using dental tissues, measurement of root dentin translucency (RDT) is said to be the most accurate. Numerous studies have estimated age by measuring RDT in single and double rooted teeth and have shown conflicting results. Only few studies have compared efficacy of using single and double rooted teeth for RDT measurement in age estimation. A...
متن کاملDentin translucency and color evaluation in human incisors, canines, and molars.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM For restorations with excellent esthetics, an understanding of the optical properties of human dentin is needed. Little information is available on the translucency and color parameters of dentin and its relationship to tooth type and position. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the translucency and CIELab color coordinates of human dentin in bo...
متن کاملEstimation of Remnant Dentin Thickness under Proximal Caries Using Digital Bitewing Radiography: An In-Vitro Study
Objectives: In restorative dentistry, it is essential to estimate the amount of remnant tooth structure after caries removal to make the best treatment plan. The present study was aimed to determine whether there is a correlation between the real thickness of remnant dentin under carious lesion and the radiographical measurement from photostimulable phosphor plates (PSPs). Methods: a whole numb...
متن کاملEstimation of age by secondary dentin deposition, root translucency, and cementum apposition: A unique modification of Gustafson’s method
Dentin is a calcified tissue of the body, and along with enamel, cementum, and pulp is one of the four major components of teeth. Usually, it is covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root and surrounds the entire pulp. By weight, 70% of dentin consists of the mineral hydroxylapatite, 20% is organic material and 10% is water [3]. Secondary dentin may be defined as the dentin formed ...
متن کاملSignificance of teeth lead accumulation in age estimation.
Lead accumulation in 398 permanent teeth of Kuwaiti subjects, aged between 11 and 74 years (mean age=25+/-8 years) was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. A significant correlation was found between dentin lead levels and age. The mean dentin lead concentration was significantly higher in males than in females (6.8+/-4.7 and 5.6+/-4.6, respectively, p=0.015). A formula was establis...
