Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of our study is to examine possible disease-related changes in dental age and mandibular bone morphology in childhood rheumatic diseases.
Detailed Description
to reveal the changes that can occur in different childhood rheumatic diseases, the treatment process of the disease and the drugs used on the dental age and mandible

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients aged 6 to 14 years with childhood rheumatism
- •Patients without bilateral congenital germ deficiency in the lower teeth
- •Patients with seven teeth (except no #8) on the left of the mandibula (No seven teeth on the left of the mandibula, there should be a symmetrical tooth on the right of the mandibula.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with bilateral congenital germ deficiency in lower teeth in intraoral and/or radiographic examinations
- •Patients with asymmetry and magnification errors and where anatomical structures cannot be seen clearly in the panoramic x-ray
- •Patients with a significant number of missing teeth due to trauma or disease, root canal treatment, and pathological tooth structure
- •Patients with a history of other chronic diseases
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Dental Age Estimation
Time Frame: 3 months
The study group will be comprised of newly diagnosed pediatric patients who applied to Umraniye Training and Research Hospital Division of Pediatric Rheumatology and whose treatment is ongoing, and the control group will be composed of pediatric patients without systemic disease who applied to Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Pedodontics. In the study, digital panoramic x-rays of the patients will be evaluated and dental age estimation with Willems method will be made.
Secondary Outcomes
- Mandibular bone morphometric measurements(3 months)
