Summary
Idiopathic coronal resorption, a dental condition, becomes more common with increasing age in adults. Regular dental X-rays can help detect this condition, particularly in impacted teeth.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Radiology
- Dental Pathology
Background:
- Idiopathic coronal resorption is a rare dental condition.
- Its prevalence and association with patient demographics are not well-established.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between idiopathic coronal resorption and age in adult patients.
- To determine the prevalence of idiopathic coronal resorption in a cohort of adult dental patients.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 3405 digital panoramic radiographs from patients aged 25 and over.
- Assessment by two oral and maxillofacial radiologists for idiopathic coronal resorption in impacted teeth.
- Recording of patient age, gender, and resorption characteristics.
Main Results:
- Idiopathic coronal resorption was found in 4.2% of patients (2.7% of teeth).
- The prevalence of idiopathic coronal resorption increased significantly with advanced age.
- No significant gender-based difference in prevalence or extent of resorption was observed.
Conclusions:
- The likelihood of idiopathic coronal resorption increases with age.
- This condition is often discovered incidentally during radiographic examinations.
- Dentists should consider periodic radiographic monitoring of impacted teeth.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

01:20Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
342
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
