Investigation of the Incidence of Nutrient Canals in Diabetic Patients

Abstract

Aim The purpose of this study is to put emphasis on the importance of identifying certain changes of anatomical structures on routine radiographic examinations which can lead to diagnosis of various systemic diseases and may direct the patient to consultation. Material and method Our research was conducted by analyzing radiographs taken from 100 healthy patients above 20 years of age who applied to Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry and 108 patients with diabetes above 20 years of age who applied to Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine’s Experimental Medicine Research Center (DETAM). Results The relationship between type 1 and type 2 diabetes is presented in the tables. Conclusion According to results, the length of destruction period of diabetes type 1 has a significant role and tends to form more significant numbers of nutrient canals.
