Summary

Chewing, a movement that matures with experiences, has effects on the growth and development of the stomatognathic system. Tooth decay, which is known to have effects on chewing, can affect the jaw bone due to its indirect effect on the mechanical forces transmitted to the jaw bone. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between dental caries and jaw bone trabeculation during the growth and development processes in children by fractal dimension analysis method. 40 patients with deep-dentin caries / apical rarefying osteitis on the right or left side, 40 patients with deep-dentin caries / apical rarefying osteitis on either the right and left sides and 40 patients without deep-dentin caries / apical rarefying osteitis between 8-13 ages were randomly selected. Digital panoramic images of the selected patients were analyzed with fractal dimension analysis.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Fractal analysis

Fractal dimension (FD) analysis, which can be measured in panoramic radiographs, is a technique that can be used to measure mandibular trabecular architecture and to determine early periodontal changes in alveolar bone. Fractal analysis method, which has become more and more popular in recent years; has features such as being easily accessible, not being affected by variables such as projection geometry and radiological density and providing objective data about trabecular structures. It can be measured in the patients' existing panoramic images and does not require extra imaging and material.
