Abstract

Tooth loss as a result of periodontal disease is more frequently encountered in first and second molars in comparison to other tooth types due to complexity of the furcation regions of multi rooted teeth. Furcation entrance dimension (FED) and root trunk length (RTL) of these teeth affect either treatment procedure or prognosis considerably. The aims of our study are to morphologically evaluate the FED and RTL of upper and lower first and second molars classified with respect to gender and to search whether a difference exists in the FED and RTL between men and women. The study was performed on 320 teeth extracted due to various reasons from patients applied to GATA Haydarpaşa Education Hospital Dental Service. Teeth were classified as to men-women, upper-lower, 1st molar -2nd molar and 8 groups were constituted each comprising 40 teeth. Digital images were obtained under stereomicroscope and transferred to a computer in order to per-form FED and RTL measurements. Firstly FED and RTL values belonging to different sides of the teeth were compared followed by comparison of FED and RTL values of the teeth belonging to different gender. According to our findings, FEDs of 1st and 2nd molars in both jaws belonging to women were statistically narrower than those belonging to men. RTL of 2nd molars of women were statistically longer than those of men.

Özet

Çok köklü dişlerin furkasyon bölgelerinin karmaşık yapısı nedeniyle birinci ve ikinci büyük azı diş grubunda periodontal hastalığa bağlı diş kaybı diğer diş gruplarına oranla daha sık görülmektedir. Bu diş gruplarının furkasyon giriş genişliği (FGG) ve kök gövde boyu (KGB) periodontal tedavi şeklini ve prognozu önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızın amaçları cinsiyete göre sınıflanmış alt ve üst birinci ve ikinci büyük azı dişlerin FGG ve KGB'nu morfolojik olarak değerlendirmek ve erkeklerle kadınlar arasında FGG ve KGB değerleri arasında fark olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Çalışma GATA Haydarpaşa Eğt. Hast. Diş Servisine başvuran hastalardan çeşit/i nedenlerle çekilmiş 320 diş üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Dişler erkek-kadın, alt büyük azı-üst büyük azı, birinci büyük azı ikinci büyük azı şeklinde sınıflandırıldı ve herbiri 40 diş içeren 8 grup oluşturuldu. Dişlerin furkasyon bulunan tüm yüzeylerinden stereomikroskop ile dijital görüntüler elde edildi ve görüntüler bilgisayar ortamına aktarılarak FGG ve KGB ölçümleri gerçekleştirildi. Öncelikle dişlerin farklı yüzeylerindeki FGG ve KGB değerleri birbirleriyle karşılaştırıldı daha sonra farklı cinslere ait dişlerin FGG ve KGB değerleri birbirleriyle mukayese edildi. Bulgularımıza göre istatistiksel olarak hem alt hem de üst birinci ve ikinci büyük azılarda FGG'nin kadınlarda erkeklere göre daha dar olduğu ve alt ikinci büyük azılarda KGB'nun kadınlarda erkeklere göre daha fazla olduğu gözlendi.
