Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of the gubernacular canal observed on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images in a group of Turkish populations according to age and gender.
Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 500 cases were evaluated retrospectively, and a total of 117 impacted or erupting teeth were included in the study, and the presence of gubernacular canal was recorded according to age, gender and eruption status of the tooth. SPSS program was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The mean age of 117 buried/continuing patients was 17 ± 15.32, 55 (47%) were female and were 62 (53%) male patients. Presence of gubernacular canal was observed in 91 (77.8%) cases and this duct was not detected in 26 (22.2%) cases. While 40.2% of female were found to have canals, 37.6% of male had canals. When the presence of canals was examined, the presence of canals was found to be significantly higher in the erupting teeth. A significant difference was found when analyzed according to the mean age.
Conclusions: CBCT is a useful method of detecting the gubernacular canal. The presence of gubernacular canal was significantly higher in erupting teeth.

Background: There have been few studies that have evaluated the imaging characteristics of the gubernacular canal. Additionally, it is important to understand the role of this structure and its relationship with tooth erupt. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the association between gubernacular canal features and teeth eruption status on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Background: The gubernacular canal (GC) is an important dental structure that enables the alveolar bone ridge cohesion of permanent teeth, although GC absence may indicate a dental eruption that might be associated with certain syndromes such as Down's syndrome. This study aims to correlate the eruptive delay of permanent teeth in individuals with Down's syndrome (Ds) and the gubernacular canal (GC) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods And Results: This cross-sectional study was conducted between January and July 2022 with a total of 31 individuals (G1 = 16 nonsyndromic and G2 = 15 Down's syndrome) who went through imaging evaluation using CBCT with the following acquisition parameters: tube voltage of 95 kVp, tube current of 7 mA, exposure time of 5.

Statement Of The Problem: Gubernacular canal (GC) is a canal that extends from the follicle of unerupted permanent teeth to the alveolar bone crest filled with remnants of the dental lamina. This canal is thought to guide tooth eruption and be related to some pathologic conditions.
Purposes: This study aimed to determine the presence of GC and its anatomical characteristics in teeth, which failed to erupt normally on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) is a small peptide hormone of the insulin-relaxin family which is produced and secreted by the fetal Leydig cells in the testes only. It appears to be undetectable in female fetuses. In the human fetus INSL3 synthesis begins immediately following gonadal sex determination at weeks 7 to 8 post coitum and the peptide can be detected in amniotic fluid 1 to 2 weeks later.
