ABSTRACT

The measurement of dental organs has been extensively studied by various authors, establishing a normal radículo-coronal ratio of 1.5:1. Short roots, with a ratio less than 1:1, are associated with Short Root Syndrome (SRS), first described by Volmer Lind in 1972 as a hereditary developmental anomaly. This condition is frequently observed in the maxillary central incisors. The diagnosis is based on radiographic findings and must be differentiated from other dental anomalies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of short roots in patients from Acachuén region in Michoacán, using parameters established by Woelfel. A prospective, observational, cross-sectional, and quantitative study was conducted, analyzing panoramic radiographs of 100 patients from this community. Inclusion criteria required patients to have at least 20 dental organs, while radiographs of poor quality or patients not belonging to the community were excluded. The ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) in root measurements between the study groups, with F-values exceeding the critical threshold. Post hoc analysis identified significant mean differences (−17.65, p < 0.001) between the control and discrepancy groups. These findings confirm statistically significant discrepancies in dental root measurements among the patients studied.
