The influence of age on tooth root colour changes
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between tooth root colour and age, and its possible application in age assessment. In this research altogether 100 tooth roots have been analysed. All teeth, that is their roots, were digitally recorded and the colorimetric treatment was made using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 computer program. Studies have shown no significant difference between RGB values analysed on the whole root surface or only on its central part, with certainty p >0.99. It is also established that there is no statistically significant difference in colouration on four anatomical surfaces (buccal, mesial, lingual, distal) of tooth roots with certaintyp>0.99 for red, p>0.99 for green and p>0.50 for blue colouration component. Statistical data interpretation showed that there is a linear correlation between obtained RGB values and age, with r=-0.994, p>0.99 for red component, r=-0.972, p>0.99 for green and r=-0.982, p>0.95 for blue colouration component. From the obtained results it is possible to conclude that analysing the above mentioned parameter we can easily establish dental age and this technique can be the basis of practical application in establishing chronological age of man.
