The Morphological Changes in the Mandible Bone: The Effects of Age, Gender and Dental Status
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: This present study aimed to analzye the impact of age, gender and dental condition on remodeling of gonial and antegonial, condylar and ramus regions. We evaluated the changes in the antegonial angle (AGA), gonial angle (GA), antegonial depht (AGD), condylar height (CH), ramus width (RW) and ramus height (RH) in different age and dental groups on both genders. Materials and Methods: Approximately nine hundred and ten panoramic radiographs that were gathered were arranged into groups of age, dental status and gender. An evaluation of the GA, AGA, AGD, CH, RW, and RH was made. Results: There were no differences for CH in regard to gender, dental status and age groups on both sides (p>0.05). Age influenced RW in females and on AGD in males (p<0.05). Dental status influenced RW and AGA in females and on GA and RW in males (p<0.05). Gender also effected the GA, RH, AGA and AGD (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that age, gender, and dental status influenced the remodeling of the gonial, antegonial, and ramus regions. This remodeling influenced specific regions in the mandible. A conclusion can be made to say that the differences that are related to gender, age and dental status can be linked with the variance in the masticatory activity throughout this region of the mandible. Since age, gender and dental status do not affect the CH, the significant changes in the length of CH can be considered to be signs of an abnormal situation.
