Radiological Study for Premolar Teeth of Adult Humans in Salah Al-Din Governorate

Abstract

Cone-beam  computed  tomography  (CBCT)  is  a  rapid,  easy,  and noninvasive  technique  that  allows  dentists  to  assess  the  anatomical characteristics of a specific tooth efficiently. 
CBCT images of 42 patients of two genders, aged between 20 and 40 years old in Salah Al-Din Governorate were selected. These cases were gathered  from  September  2023  to  April  2024. The results of this study revealed that tooth length, crown length, and root length measurements were longer in males than females and those above 30 longer than those below 30. Bucco-palatal diameter and bucco-palatal diameter at the cervix length were longer in males than females but those above  30  were  shorter  than  those  below  30.  The  mesiodistal  and mesiodistal diameters at the cervix were longer in those below 30 than above 30.
In  conclusion,  the  mean  of  TL,  CL,  and  RL  measurements  were significantly longer in males than females and those above 30 longer than those below 30. The mean of BP and BPC diameters were longer in males than females but those above 30 were shorter than those below 30. Still, the mean of MD and MDC diameters were longer in those below 30 than above 30.
