Estimación de edad dental mediante desarrollo del tercer molar Centro Radiológico Digital 3D. Guayaquil - 2018.

Abstract

Introduction: Estimates of dental age in young people can be analyzed using the Demirjian method, to determine the majority or minority of people, based on morphological methods of dental development. The present study aims to obtain data that allow us to determine dental age through the development of the third molar. . Materials and methods: A descriptive study of transversal, correlational and non-experimental type was carried out. We studied 150 panoramic radiographs of both sexes, with ages between 14-21 years of age, who attended the Digital Radiológica! Center 3D Guayaquil, in the months of January to December of 2018. The dental age of the third molar was calculated based on the Demirjian stadiums. Results: it was obtained that the female gender was the most prevalent with 79% and the probability of age in a range of 18 years with an average of 17%. The probability of being younger or older gives us as a result that stage H (14.67%) is the one that has a high percentage of a patient being identified as of age while stage D (11,33). %) is more predominant in minors. Conclusions: The method of Demirjian has a high reliable probability Índex for dental age and chronological in terms of the analyzes that were obtained in this clinical investigation of descriptive type correlational, transverse and non-experimental.
