Abstract

The author has taken intraoral standard films by the paralleling technique of 6414 teeth in 838 patients ranged from early twenties to early sixties and analysed the change of pulp cavity in the mandibular posterior teeth by ageing. The obtined results were as follows : 1. There was no significant difference between the right and left teeth. 2. The degree of change of pulp cavity in female was higher than that in male. 3. The change of pulp cavity was increased by ageing. 4. The correlation between the degree of change of pulp cavity inmandibular posterior teeth (X) and age (Y) were : Male 1st premolar Y=13.22X3.37+ r=0.79 2nd premolar Y=12.09X+3.65 r=0.79 1st molar Y=11.90X+1.25 r=0.78 2nd molar Y=10.51X+10.43 r=0.83 Female 1st premolar Y=13.66X-2.49 r=0.86 2nd premolar Y=13.63X-2.42 r=0.86 1st molar Y=12.42X-1.44 r=0.79 2nd molar Y=11.42X+5.91 r=0.84
