Abstract

Objective:The aim of this study was to examine the radiomorphometric parameters of trabecular and cortical bone of the mandible in patients of osseous dysplasia.
Methods: A total of 43 patients (40 females and 3 males) patients of osseous dysplasia and 43 age and gender-matched healthy individuals (control group) were included in this study. The analyzed radiomorphometric parameters were fractal dimension (FD), mandibular cortical width (MCW), and mandibular cortical index (MCI).
Results:There were not significant differences in the mean FDs of selected regions between the two groups except condyle region (p < 0.005). There were no significant differences in MCW between the two groups (p > 0.05). The mean MCW was 23 mm in the patients of osseous dysplasia and 24 mm in the control group. Therefore there were no significant differences in MCI between the two groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: In mandible, especially bone quality of condyle region was significantly lower in patients of osseous dysplasia. Therefore, precaution is needed before surgical interventions in this region. It was also observed that the bone quality of the patients with the three variants of cemental dysplasia in the mandible was similar.
