The aim of this study was to determine the effects of age and sex on the difference between chronological age (CA) and dental age (DA) predicted using the Demirjian and Willems methods in Taiwanese children.
Materials and methods
A total of 232 periapical X-ray images were obtained from children aged 5–12 years in Taiwan. Among them, 119 were boys, and 113 were girls. DA was calculated on the basis of the X-ray images of permanent teeth by using the aforementioned methods. The children were stratified by age (5–9 years [early mixed dentition period] vs. 10–12 years [late mixed dentition period]) and sex (boys vs. girls). Statistical analyses were performed to investigate potential age- and sex-based differences in the correlation between CA and DA.
Results
No significant difference was observed between the mean CA and DA predicted using the Willems method in children with late mixed dentition and in girls. However, the correlation between CA and DA was stronger in children with early mixed dentition than in those with late mixed dentition and also stronger in boys than in girls.
Conclusion
For children in mid-Taiwan, age and sex influence the development of permanent teeth. In addition, the correlation between DA and CA is relatively strong for boys in the early mixed dentition period.
背景/目的本研究的目的是确定年龄和性别对台湾儿童的计时年龄(CA)和用Demirjian和Willems方法预测的牙龄(DA)之间差异的影响。其中,119 名男孩,113 名女孩。根据恒牙的 X 光图像,采用上述方法计算 DA。按照年龄(5-9 岁[混合牙列早期] 与 10-12 岁[混合牙列晚期])和性别(男孩与女孩)对儿童进行了分层。结果用 Willems 方法预测的混合牙列晚期儿童和女孩的平均 CA 值和 DA 值之间没有发现明显差异。结论对于台湾中部的儿童来说,年龄和性别会影响恒牙的发育。此外,在混合牙列早期,DA 与 CA 之间的相关性在男孩中相对较强。

In Taiwan, there are very few dental radiology curricula in medical radiation education system. This study assessed the participants’ learning outcomes after finishing the dental radiology course for the continuing education of medical radiation technologists in Taiwan.
Materials and methods
This study used the questionnaire survey to evaluate the participants’ learning outcomes after finishing the dental radiology course for the continuing education of medical radiation technologists in Taiwan.
Results
In this study, 85 participants filled out the questionnaires completely after finishing the dental radiology course. The majority of participants agreed that dental radiology courses were rare in the medical radiation school curricula and the continuing education courses of medical radiation technologists. Moreover, most of participants found this course to be helpful in raising their basic knowledge about the dental radiology, their attitude towards the dental radiology, and their interest in further learning of the dental radiology. They were satisfied with the courses. The degree of agreement for each question was high with all the mean scores for each question being between 3.87 and 4.61. The numbers (rates) of respondents who answered as agree were between 58 (68.24%) and 84 (98.82%).
Conclusion
The dental radiology course for the continuing education of medical radiation technologists is found to increase the participants’ basic knowledge about the dental radiology, and their awareness and understanding of the radiation protection in dental radiography. Thus, this model can be further used for the dental radiology course for the continuing education of medical radiation technologists in Taiwan.

Background/purpose
The use of computed tomography (CT) for craniofacial measurements is common in medical imaging, but concerns about accuracy and reliability persist, especially with different CT technologies. This study assessed the accuracy of twenty-six common measurements on consecutive CT images from the same patients, using multidetector CT (MDCT) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) with two software programs (Amira and Dolphin).
Materials and methods
Ten adult subjects with consecutive CBCT scans within one year were randomly selected. Another ten subjects with consecutive MDCT scans were paired with the CBCT group based on age, gender, race, occlusion, and craniofacial pattern. All digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) files were randomly coded and analyzed using the two software programs. Intra-examiner reliability was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Successive measurement errors from consecutive scans for both imaging modalities and software programs were compared.
Results
For most skeletal linear and angular measurements, Dolphin showed greater successive measurement errors compared to Amira. Eight of the 26 common measurements had errors greater than one unit (millimeter or degree). Despite almost perfect intra-examiner reliability for upper airway analysis, average successive measurement errors were notably high, particularly for intraoral and oropharyngeal airway volumes. The successive Dolphin measurement error for oropharyngeal airway volume on CBCT images was over three times that on MDCT images.
Conclusion
Given the substantial successive measurement errors observed during consecutive CT scanning for the upper airway, this study does not support the quantitative use of CT for analyzing changes in airway dimensions for research purposes.
