This study introduces advanced statistical methods for analyzing dental emergence times, focusing on gender differences and left-right symmetry in permanent teeth development using interval-censored data.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Biostatistics
Human Growth and Development

Background:

Dental emergence time studies frequently use descriptive statistics and gender comparisons.
Intrasubject analyses, such as left-right symmetry in emergence times, are also of interest.
Existing statistical methods often struggle with the interval-censored data common in emergence studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To extend existing statistical tests for analyzing dental emergence data.
To address questions regarding gender-based differences in tooth emergence.
To investigate left-right symmetry in the timing of permanent tooth emergence.

Main Methods:

Extension of a Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE)-type test for bivariate right-censored data.

Application of statistical models to longitudinal data from the Signal-Tandmobiel study.

Main Results:

The study provides a statistical framework for analyzing complex dental emergence patterns.
The developed methods allow for robust intersubject (gender) and intrasubject (symmetry) comparisons.
The approach effectively handles interval-censored data, a common challenge in this field.

Conclusions:

The proposed statistical models offer a valuable tool for resolving dental questions related to tooth emergence.
This work enhances the ability to perform detailed analyses on tooth development timelines.
The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of factors influencing permanent tooth emergence patterns.
