THE EVALUATION OF THE RETAINED ROOT FRAGMENTS IN THE JAW BONES OF THE TURKISH POPULATION: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Öz
Aim: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the retained root fragments on the toothless spaces, in a group of patients living in Turkey, by examining the files and panoramic radiographies of the patients.
Materials and Method: 248 patients were included into this study. Totally 2022 toothless spaces were examined on panoramic radiographs retrospectively. Data about the patients was also obtained from the patients’ files. Frequency of the retained root fragments in the toothless area and their distribution according to the presence on the upper or lower jaw, anterior-premolar and molar areas and the sex of the patient were evaluated on the panoramic radiographs. The patient files were also evaluated to determine whether an extraction is necessary.
Result: Totally 56 (2.8 %) remained tooth fragments were found on the 2022 toothless area. No statistically significant was found in terms of frequency of their occurrence on the upper and lower jaws. Remained tooth fragments were found statistically more frequent in females than the males and in the molar area than the anterior-premolar (p<0.05) area. 4 (7.14%) out of 56 remained root fragments needed to be extracted.
Conclusion: The frequency of retained tooth fragments was found as 2.8% on the toothless area that resulted from tooth extraction. Retained root fragments were seen more in women and in molar region. In 7.14% of them an extraction procedure was necessary.
