关中地区汉族成人前牙根管弯曲度调查

目的：了解关中地区汉族成人前牙根管弯曲情况。方法：采用间接影像学手段，运用改良的Schneider测量方法，利用电子测量尺进行测量，分析根管弯曲情况。结果：前牙多数为Ⅰ型根管，其中上颌尖牙根管弯曲发生率高（68．5％）。各牙位的弯曲发生位置偏根尖1／3处。上颌前牙有个别牙为近远中向S型根管弯曲。上颌尖牙根管弯曲度与年龄有显著相关关系（P=0．03）。结论：前牙根管弯曲情况复杂，上颌尖牙根管弯曲程度重。上颌尖牙根管弯曲度与年龄有显著负相关关系。

Root canal curvature of anterior teeth in the Han nationality in Shaanxi province

Objective: To investigate the root canal curvatures of anterior teeth in the Han nationality in Shaanxi province.Methods:392 permanent anterior teeth were examined by indirect digital radiography both from labiolingual and mesiodistal directions according to Schneider method, root canal curvatures were analyzed by electronic rule.Results:Root canals of the anterior teeth were mainly of type I. High rate of root canal curvature was found in maxillary canines (68.5%), and most of curves were in the apical third. There was a relationship between the root canal curvatures of maxillary canine and age(P=0.03). Conclusion:Root canal curvatures of maxillary canine are complicated,especially in maxillary canines. The root canal curvatures of maxillary canine decreased with aging.
