Abstract :Background: This study aimed to show the osteoarthritic changes of atlanto-axial joint by aging in asymptomatic subjects with CBCT as first in literature. Methods : Study group of 120 patients randomly selected and grouped according to six age categories. In images atlanto-dental joint interval was measured and decreasing of joint space, ankylosis, subchondral sclerosis and cyst, erosion, osteophyte, ligament calcification findings were recorded. Measurements and evaluations were made on software of CBCT system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Romexis 4.3.0V);. Data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 package programme. For statistical significance, p <0.05 was accepted. Results : Mean atlanto-dental interval insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ADI); values were significantly different between age groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. The presence of the decreasing of joint space, ankylosis, subchondral sclerosis and cyst, erosion, osteophyte findings were found significantly different between age groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(for each p<0.05);. The mean interval values of patients with ankylosis, subchondral cyst, erosion and ligament calcification were statistically different from patients without these findings insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(for each, p<0.05);. Conclusion : Our study showed increase of osteoarthritic changes and decrease of ADI with age. CBCT provides useful information on the evaluation of hard tissue changes in the cervical spine.
