The current study investigates possible effects of SSRIs, fluoxetine, and paroxetine on SB in patients with anxiety and depression.
Materials And Methods: Thirty users of SSRIs for treatment of depression or anxiety were enrolled in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of radicular grooves (RG) in maxillary anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from a Turkish population.
- Out of 1969 images analyzed, RGs were found more frequently in lateral incisors (2.3%) compared to central incisors (0.6%), and were absent in canines, with a higher occurrence in males than females.
- The findings support the use of CBCT as an effective diagnostic tool for identifying RGs, highlighting significant differences in prevalence based on tooth type and patient gender.
