Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the Demirjian and Willems methods for dental age estimation in a group of children in Eastren Black Sea Region. Materials and Methods: Panoramic radiograph of 600 children between 5-14 years of age were evaluated retrospectively in this study. Dental maturity was evaluated according to the stages proposed by Demirjian and Willems. The correlation between the chronological and dental age was analyzed by statistically paired t-test. Results: When comparing chronological age with dental age in both Demirjian and Willems methods, significant difference was found between some age groups in both girls and boys (p<0.05). The Demirjian method was suitable for both girls and boys in the 8, 9, 10 age groups, and only for boys in the 11-age group, while it gave high predictive values in the other age groups. The Willems method was incompatible only for girls in the 5-age group and only for boys in the 7and 12 age groups, while it was suitable with chronological age in all other age groups. Conclusion: It was found that Demirjian method gives higher predictive values than chronological age and Willems method gives more suitable values for dental age estimation for a group of children in the Eastern Black Sea Region.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi'ndeki bir grup çocukta diş yaşı tespitinde Demirjian ve Willems yöntemlerinin geçerliliğini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 5-14 yaş arası 600 çocuğun panoramik radyografisi retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Dental gelişim, Demirjian ve Willems tarafından önerilen aşamalara göre değerlendirilmiştir. Kronolojik ve dental yaş arasındaki uyum istatistiksel olarak eşleştirilmiş t-testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Hem Demirjian hem de Willems yöntemlerinde kronolojik yaş ve diş yaş karşılaştırıldığında, kızlarda ve erkeklerde bazı yaş gruplarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Demirjian yöntemi 8, 9, 10 yaş gruplarında hem kız hem de erkek çocuklar için, 11 yaş grubunda ise yalnızca erkek çocuklar için uyumluyken, diğer yaş gruplarında yüksek tahmin değerleri vermiştir. Willems yöntemi 5 yaş grubunda sadece kız çocuklar için, 7 ve 12 yaş grubunda ise sadece erkek çocuklar için uyumsuzken, diğer tüm yaş gruplarında kronolojik yaş ile uyumlu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesi’ndeki bir grup çocuk için, diş yaşı tespitinde Demirjian yönteminin kronolojik yaştan daha yüksek tahmin değerleri, Willems yönteminin ise daha uyumlu tahmin değerleri verdiği tespit edilmiştir.
