Imaging peculiarities of gubernaculum tracts in molars as accessional teeth on CT

Abstract Objectives The shapes of gubernaculum tracts (GTs) in molars as accessional teeth remain unidentified. To elucidate imaging peculiarities of GTs in molars with aging on multidetector‐row computed tomography (MDCT). Material and methods This retrospective study was conducted using CT images,...

Results Some forms of GTs in maxillary and mandibular third molars were observed. In the early stage, GTs were visualized as bone defect lines on the dentition and grooves on the mesial alveolar crest continuous with the dental sac to mesial tooth bud. GTs of the third molar formed a J‐shape in maxillary teeth and Y‐shape in mandibular teeth in the middle stage, as alveolar bone around the GT developed.
