牙源性脓肿是引起颌面部骨骼病变的最常见的牙齿疾病之一。它们影响个体维持牙齿结构所必需的能力,以获得足够的生存和繁殖营养。在这项研究中,牙源性脓肿的患病率和模式与年龄的关系,性别,苦参碱,在CayoSantiago自由放养殖民地的成年恒河猴骨骼中调查了其寿命,波多黎各。
这项研究使用的头骨来自752只成年恒河猴的骨骼,8-31岁,生于1951年至2000年。他们来自66个母系,范围从1到88个人。牙源性脓肿引流引起的瘘或骨骼病变,龋齿病变,牙齿骨折,牙齿脱落,目测评估肺泡吸收。
72个标本(9.57%)患有严重程度不同的牙源性脓肿。男性的患病率明显高于女性。在几个母系中,牙源性脓肿的患病率明显高于整个人群。1950年至1965年之间出生的动物的牙源性脓肿患病率往往高于后期出生的动物。
这些结果表明,口腔疾病,如恒河猴的牙齿和牙周脓肿相当常见,这可能表明家庭效应与生态和社会因素交织在一起。恒河猴和人类基因组的紧密关系使人们可以深入了解这些疾病在人群中的流行病学。有必要进一步评估环境和家族因素对恒河猴口腔健康和疾病的作用。
Odontogenic abscesses are one of the most common dental diseases causing maxillofacial skeletal lesions. They affect the individual\'s ability to maintain the dental structures necessary to obtain adequate nutrition for survival and reproduction. In this study, the prevalence and pattern of odontogenic abscesses in relation to age, sex, matriline, and living periods were investigated in adult rhesus macaque skeletons of the free-ranging colony on Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico.
The skulls used for this study were from the skeletons of 752 adult rhesus macaques, aged 8-31 years, and born between 1951 and 2000. They came from 66 matrilines ranging from 1 to 88 individuals. Fistulae or skeletal lesions caused by odontogenic abscesses drainage, carious lesions, tooth fractures, tooth loss, and alveolar resorption were evaluated visually.
Seventy-two specimens (9.57%) had odontogenic abscesses of varying severity. Males had a significantly higher prevalence than females. The prevalence of odontogenic abscesses in several matrilines was significantly higher than in the population as a whole. Animals born between 1950 and 1965 tended to have a higher prevalence of odontogenic abscesses than those born in later periods.
These results suggest that oral pathologies, such as dental and periodontal abscesses in rhesus macaques are fairly common, which may indicate familial effects interwoven with ecological and social factors. The closeness of the rhesus and human genomes allows insights to understand of the epidemiology of these diseases in the human population. Further assessment of the role played by environmental and familial factors on rhesus oral health and disease are warranted.
