Thermal Modifications of Root Transparency and Implications for Aging: A Pilot Study

摘要: Root transparency has proven to be related age and been considered by different odontological methods for estimation. Very little is known concerning possible variations of root with heat, although the applicability method burnt remains depends on modifications this specific variable. This pilot study presents results an experiment performed 105 teeth obtained from dental patients autopsy material, heated in industrial oven at 50°C, 100°C, 150°C 200°C. was measured before after charring experiment. The heating process proved radically modify transparency, which decreased 20% samples 34.6% 50% 150°C, 77% overall correlation index (CI) between decrease increase temperature amounted 0.96. These show that heat may suggest caution using based
