Use of Dental Age Determination Methods in Children With Type Diabetes

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes

• Registration Number: NCT06919367
• Lead Sponsor: Abant Izzet Baysal University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the estimated dental age of children with type 1 diabetes by using Cameriere, Willems and Demirjian methods.

Detailed Description

The different metabolic activities of children with type 1 diabetes cause significant differences between them and healthy children. Especially from a forensic point of view, special methods defined for these children are needed and dental age estimation is one of them. The aim of this study was to determine the estimated dental age of children with type 1 diabetes by using Cameriere, Willems and Demirjian methods.

Methods: Between 2017 and 2024, 58 patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy children were included in the study. Dental ages were calculated on panoramic radiographic images by 2 different dentists using Cameriere, Willems and Demirjian methods. Dental ages and their differences with chronological ages were compared by group and gender. Analyses were performed in IBM SPSS 25 program.
