GAMBARAN DENSITAS TULANG ALVEOLAR KERANGKA MANUSIA PAWON MENGGUNAKAN RADIOGRAF CBCT 3D

Abstract

Density of alveolar bone in Pawon Man can describe the life or behavior in the past asdiet and culture. The aim of this study is to determine dietary habit through the density of alveolar bone of Pawon man using radiograph CBCT 3D. This research’s method was descriptive and radiographic, the samples were obtained from secondary datas of three maxillaries and three mandibulars of Pawon Man. This research was conducted using software Ez Implant, then the results were recorded, collected, and presented in tabular form. The result showed that the average value of density of alveolar bone in maxillary anterior was 709 HU and in maxillary posterior was 622 HU and the average value of density of alveolar bone in maxilla was 618 HU, while the average value of density of alveolar bone in mandibular anterior was 601 HU and mandibular posterior was 711 HU with total average value of density of alveolar bone in mandibular was 708 HU, and the region with the highest average value of density was left posterior region of mandible with 713HU. In conclusions, descriptively, the value of density of alveolar bone in mandible tended to be higher than in maxilla, and the left posterior region of mandible has the highest value of density of Pawon Man, allegedly Pawon Man used to chew on the left posterior teeth, thus, the load of chewing and the hardness of food can affect the growth and development of the jaw structure.
