Amaç: 'Kissing molars (KMs)' veya 'rosette formasyonu', tek bir foliküler torba içerisinde gömülü daimi molar dişlerin oklüzal yüzeylerinin birbiriyle temas etmesini ve köklerinin zıt yönlere uzanmasını ifade eder. Nadir görülen bir durumdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Uşak Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Kliniğine Kasım 2016-Ağustos 2018 tarihleri arasında başvuran hastalarda KMs vakalarını prevalans, yaş, cinsiyet, sınıflandırma ve ilişkili olabilecek patoloji açısından değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Toplam 28984 panoramik radyografi ve 892 konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüsü retrospektif olarak incelendi. Radyolojik ve klinik veriler yaş, cinsiyet, medikal anamnez, prevalans, sınıflama ve ilişkili patolojiye göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplamda 18.792 erkek, 11.084 kadın hasta dâhil edilmiştir. İncelenen 29.876 radyolojik tetkik sonucunda toplam 7 hastada KMs tespit edildi (%0,023). KMs tespit edilen 7 hastanın 4'ü erkek, 3'ü kadındı ve yaş ortalaması 28,2 olarak saptandı. 7 hastada tespit edilen toplam 13 KMs olgusunun 4 tanesi unilateral, 3 tanesi bilateral olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: KMs vakalarının görülme sıklığı çok düşüktür ve radyolojik tanısında herhangi bir zorluk yaşanmaz. Panoramik radyografi üzerinde KMs'ler görüldüğünde, çevre dokular üzerindeki potansiyel etkiler dikkatle incelenmelidir. KMs, mandibular fraktür, perikoronit, lokal ağrı, kistik değişiklik ve komşu dişlerde kök rezorpsiyonu gibi bazı komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. KMs vakalarının herhangi bir sistemik durumla ilişkisini belirlemek adına daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Objective: Kissing molars (KM) or rosette formation refers to contacting occlusal surfaces of impacted permanent molars in a single follicular space and their roots pointing in opposite directions. It is a rare phenomenon. The aim of present study was to assess the incidence, age, sex, classification and associated pathologies of kissing molars in all patients who presented to Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department at Uşak University Faculty of Dentistry between November 2016 and August 2018. Material and Methods: A total of 28,984 panoramic radiograph and 892 cone-beam computed tomography images were inspected retrospectively. The radiological and clinical data of KMs were evaluated according to age, gender, medical history, prevalence, classification and associated pathology. Results: A total of 18,792 male and 11,084 female patients were included in the study. As a result of 29,876 radiological examinations, KMs were detected in 7 patients (%0.023). Of the 7 patients, 4 were male and 3 were female, and the mean age was 28.2. Thirteen KMs were detected in 7 patients, 4 were detected unilaterally and 3 were bilaterally. Conclusion: The incidence of CMS cases is very low and there is no difficulty in the radiological diagnosis. The potential effects on the surrounding tissues should be examined carefully when KMs are seen on panoramic radiography. KMs can cause complications such as mandibular fracture, pericoronitis, local pain, cystic changes and root resorption in neighboring teeth. Further studies are needed to determine the association of KMs cases with any systemic condition.
