[The correlation among pulp chamber, tooth length and tooth width in different age groups].

W Götze, H G Schaller, R Schulz

    Deutsche Zahnarztliche Zeitschrift
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    As people age, the pulp chamber width and length in teeth decrease, with width reduction being more significant. This study analyzed canine and lower premolar dimensions in individuals aged 19-65.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Gerontology
    • Radiology

    Context:

    • Orthopantomograms are commonly used dental radiographs.
    • Age-related changes in tooth morphology are not fully understood.
    • Pulp chamber dimensions are indicators of tooth age.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the relationship between chronological age and pulp chamber dimensions.
    • To quantify age-related changes in pulp chamber length and width quotients.
    • To compare the rate of reduction in length versus width with increasing age.

    Summary:

    • Analysis of pulp chamber length/tooth length and width/tooth width quotients in canines and lower premolars from 19-65 year olds.
    • A significant reduction in the length quotient and a highly significant reduction in the width quotient were observed with increasing age.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The reduction in pulp chamber width was considerably greater than the reduction in length.

    • Impact:

    • Provides quantitative data on age-related dental morphology changes.
    • Can aid in forensic age estimation using dental radiographs.
    • Highlights the importance of considering age when interpreting pulp chamber size in clinical dentistry.
