Özet:

 Objective: This retrospective study aims to unveil the changes in morphology and morphometric features of hard palate on CBCT images and evaluate its age- and gender- related variations in a Turkish subpopulation. Methods: The present investigation analyzed CBCT of 300 individuals aged between 19 and 71 retrospectively. Measurements of palate dimension length, breadth, and height and palate inclination superiorly, parallel, and inferiorly and the calculation of palatine index leptostaphyline, mesostaphyline, and brachystaphyline and palatine height index chamestaphyline, orthostaphyline, and hypsistaphyline, were quantified and statistically evaluated. Results: The mean length, breadth, and height of hard palate were found as 48.793.8 mm, 39.673.43 mm, and 12.793,01 mm, respectively. The palatine index was mostly brachystaphylline 99.67, followed by leptostaphylline 0.33 and mesostaphylline 0. The palatal height index was orthostaphyline 58.33, followed by chamestaphyline 28 and hypsistaphyline 13.67. A significant difference between genders was not detected in the palate inclination, palatine index and height index compared to other parameters p0.05. The largest palate breadth and inferiorly inclined palate are mostly observed in those aged 25 years than in those aged 24 years p0.015 and p0.010, respectively; p0.05. Conclusion: The results of present investigation will provide useful radio-anatomical data for the prevention of possible complications of surgical procedures.

 Amaç : Bu retrospektif çalışma, KIBT görüntülerinde sert damağın morfolojik ve morfometrik özelliklerindeki değişikliklerin ortaya konulmasını ve Türk alt popülasyonunda yaşa ve cinsiyete bağlı değişikliklerin değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Yöntemler : Mevcut çalışmada, yaşları 19 ila 71 arasında değişen 300 kişinin KIBTı retrospektif olarak analiz edildi. Damak boyutu uzunluk, genişlik ve yükseklik, damak eğimi yukarı yönde, paralel ve aşağı yönde damak endeksi leptostafilin, mezostafilin ve brakistafilin ve damak yükseklik endeksinin kamestafilin, ortostafilin ve hipsistafilin ölçümleri yapılmış ve istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular : Sert damağın ortalama uzunluğu, genişliği ve yüksekliği sırasıyla 48.793.8 mm, 39.673.43 mm ve 12.793.01 mm olarak bulunmuştur. Damak endeksi çoğunlukla brakistafilin 99,67 olup bunu sırasıyla leptostafilin 0.33 ve mezostafilin 0 izlemiştir. Damak yükseklik endeksi çoğunlukla ortostafilin 58.33 olup bunu sırasıyla kamestafilin 28 ve hipsistafilin 13.67 takip etmiştir. Damak eğimi, damak endeksi ve damak yükseklik endeksinde diğer parametrelere kıyasla cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır p0.05. Damak genişliği ve aşağı yönde eğimli damak, 24 yaş grubuna kıyasla en fazla 25 yaş grubunda gözlenmiştir sırasıyla p0.015 ve p0.010; p0.05. Sonuç : Mevcut araştırmanın sonuçları, cerrahi prosedürlerin olası komplikasyonlarının önlenmesinde faydalı radyo-anatomik bilgiler sağlayacaktır.
