The Morphological Changes in the Mandible Bone: The Effects of Age, Gender and Dental Status

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

Mandibular Morfolojik Değişiklikler: Yaş, Cinsiyet ve Diş Durumunun Etkileri

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı yaş, cinsiyet ve diş durumunun gonial ve antegonial, kondil ve ramus bölgelerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Her iki cinsiyette farklı yaş ve diş gruplarında gonial açı (GA), antegonial açı (AGA), antegonial derinlik (AGD), kondil yüksekliği (KY), ramus yüksekliği (RY) ve ramus genişliği (RG) değişikliklerini değerlendirdik. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Dokuz yüz on panoramik radyografi elde edildi ve bunlar yaş, diş durumu ve cinsiyete göre gruplandırıldı. GA, AGA, AGD, KY, RY ve RG analiz edildi. Bulgular: KY, her iki tarafta cinsiyet, yaş grupları ve diş durumuna göre fark göstermemekteydi (p>0,05). Yaşın kadınlarda RG, erkeklerde ise AGD üzerine etkili olduğu bulundu (p
