Abstract

Objective: Evaluation of the change in incisive foramen (IF) diameter and localization according to age, gender, edentulous status and other anatomical landmarks by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Method: 162 patients (81 females, 81 males, mean age 41.1+_15.2) were included in the study. IF diameter, distance between IF and the greater palatine foramen (GPF) and distance between IF and the most posterior of the median palatine bone (PNS: posterior nasal spine) were measured. The measurement values of the patients were compared with the Independent t-test according to gender and dental status. The relationship between age and measurements was examined with the Pearson correlation test.
Results: The mean IF diameter of the patients was 3.78±0.95 mm. The mean IF diameter (P.<001), the distance between the right GPF and the IF (P.=023) and the distance between the IF and the PNS (P.=039) of the dentate patients were found to be significantly lower than the edentulous patients.
Conclusion: The IF diameter and the IF - GPF distance were found to be lower in dentulous patients than in edentulous patients. It was determined that the IF diameter and the IF - GPF distance increased with age.

İNSİZİV FORAMENİN YAŞ, CİNSİYET VE DİŞSİZLİK DURUMUNA GÖRE MORFOLOJİK DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: İnsiziv foramen (İF) çap ve lokalizasyonunun yaş, cinsiyet, dişsizlik durumu ve diğer anatomik landmarklara göre değişiminin konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) ile değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 162 hasta (81 kadın, 81 erkek, yaş ort. 41,1±15,2) dahil edildi. İF çapı, İF ile palatinum majus mesafesi ve İF ile palatinanın posterioru arasındaki mesafe ölçüldü. Cinsiyet ve diş durumuna göre hastaların ölçüm değerleri Independent t-test ile karşılaştırıldı. Yaş ile ölçümler arasındaki ilişki Pearson korelasyon test ile incelendi.
Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama İF çapı 3,78±0,95 mm idi. Dişli hastaların ortalama İF çapı (p<0,001), sağ palatinum majus ile İF mesafesi (p=0,023) ve palatinanın en posterioru ile İF mesafesi (p=0,039) dişsiz hastalara göre anlamlı düzeyde düşük saptandı.
Sonuç: Dişli hastalarda İF çapı ve İF ile palatinum majus mesafesi dişsiz hastalara göre daha düşük bulundu. İF çapının ve İF - palatinum majus mesafesinin yaşla birlikte arttığı belirlendi.
