简要总结
This retrospective cross-sectional observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between taurodontism and periodontal status. Clinical periodontal parameters and panoramic radiographs of systemically healthy adults will be retrospectively reviewed. Participants will be classified according to the presence or absence of taurodontism, and periodontal status will be assessed using clinical and radiographic findings. The study aims to determine whether taurodontism is associated with periodontal disease and periodontal health.

入选标准
- •Adults aged 18 to 65 years. Systemically healthy individuals. Availability of a diagnostic-quality panoramic radiograph. Presence of at least 20 natural teeth. No missing premolar or molar teeth. Availability of complete periodontal clinical records, including probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), and gingival index (GI).
排除标准
- •Poor-quality or nondiagnostic panoramic radiographs. Teeth with extensive caries or restorations that interfere with taurodontism assessment.
- •Fractured teeth. Impacted teeth. Teeth with fused roots or an indistinguishable furcation area. Individuals with systemic diseases or conditions known to affect periodontal tissues.
- •Incomplete clinical or radiographic records.
研究组 & 干预措施
Taurodontism Group
Participants with at least one permanent molar diagnosed with taurodontism on panoramic radiographs according to the Shifman and Chanannel criteria.
Control Group
Participants without radiographic evidence of taurodontism, matched to the taurodontism group and evaluated using the same clinical and radiographic periodontal parameters.
结局指标
主要结局
Periodontal Status/ Clinical Attachment Level (CAL)
时间窗: Baseline
Clinical attachment level (CAL) will be measured in millimeters at six sites per tooth and compared between participants with and without taurodontism.
Periodontal status/ Probing Depth (PD)
时间窗: Baseline
Probing depth (PD) will be measured in millimeters at six sites per tooth using a periodontal probe and compared between participants with and without taurodontism.
Periodontal Status/ Bleeding on Probing (BOP)
时间窗: Baseline
Bleeding on probing will be recorded as the presence or absence of bleeding after periodontal probing and compared between participants with and without taurodontism.
Periodontal status/ Plaque Index (PI)
时间窗: Baseline
Plaque Index (PI) will be assessed to evaluate oral hygiene status and compared between participants with and without taurodontism.
Periodontal Status/ Gingival Index (GI)
时间窗: Baseline
Gingival Index (GI) will be used to evaluate gingival inflammation and compared between participants with and without taurodontism.
次要结局
- Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHIP-14)(Baseline)
