ABSTRACT

General objective: To find the prevalence of short roots in 500 patients admitted to the department of Orthodontics of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, CU Campus. Specific objectives: To determine the presence of short roots, statistically significant differences in gender, teeth principally affected. Material and methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 500 panoramic radiographs of patients who are to start their treatment in the department of orthodontics UNAM. The data were collected: file number, pretreatment, if he had, the duration, age, sex, Angle SN1SUP GNInf. The diagnosis was made as to the relationship corono-root: The measurement was carried out digitally, by Sidexis program. Results: The prevalence of short roots in this study group was 9% (45 of 500 cases). As for gender, more cases are found in women. χ2 test p ‹ 0.05. The prevalence in women corresponded to 6%, while in men was 3%. The dental organs were affected mainly the upper central incisors, followed by lateral incisors upper and lower central incisors. Conclusions: The short roots occur in the Mexican population with prevalence of 9%. They are associated with the female gender.
