Abstract
Bone is a hard tissue consisting of classified protein and has a trabecular and compact structure. As per age increases, greater bone formation until 30 years old, after that the process is stabilize. By the time we reach age 40, greater bone resorption and less bone formation occur. Condyle is the center of growth and this reason that makes the condyle experience rapid change and used region of interest to know the change of bone quality.
The purpose of this research is to find out what is the average width and bone density in the neck of a condylus, in female patient using a panoramic radiograph based on age. Descriptive research method was used and the sample taken in this cross sectional survey was secondary data of digital panoramic radiographs taken from patients who sought treatment in RSGM Sekeloa, Bandung for the period of January 2017 to April 2017 which were 60 female patients. The samples were divided to two groups between age 26-45 and age 46 and above as many as 30 samples per group.
The mean for width of neck of condyle in female patients for age 26-45 is 9.12mm and for age 46 and above is 8.79mm. The mean for trabecular percentage of the neck of condyle in female patients is 34.11% for age 26-45 and 33.79% for age 46 and above. From this study, it can be concluded that average width and density of neck condilus of women`s age more than 46 years seen decrease when compared with previous age group.
