The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of mandibular anatomy and osteotomy technique on lingual fracture patterns in SSRO. The predictor variables were: length of horizontal medial osteotomy; type of border osteotomy; buccolingual width; and vertical length of the basal cortex. The outcome variable was the type of lingual split pattern.

Materials And Methods: Seven dry male mandibles were selected, and a Gutta-Percha was used to identify identical regions of interest. A periapical radiograph was taken with 60 kVp/7 mA and exported in DICOM, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG formats.

Objective: The objective was to compare the radiation protection effectiveness of a lead-free thermoplastic homopolymer (Anti-RAD) to conventional lead shielding in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) exposures.
Study Design: Thermoluminescent dosimeters were placed on a human bone- and soft tissue-equivalent phantom to record equivalent doses in the thyroid gland, thyroid skin, and breast areas. CBCT images were obtained with the following 3 protocols: (1) without radiation shielding; (2) with 0.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the changes in mandibular bone structure in edentulous patients who were rehabilitated with conventional complete dentures (CCD) and implant supported overdentures (ISO), by evaluating alveolar bone loss (ABL), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), gonion index (GI), antegonial index (AI), and articular eminence inclination (AEI).
Materials And Methods: Panoramic radiographs of 63 edentulous patients using CCD, 63 edentulous patients using ISO, and 126 patients without tooth loss were evaluated. Edentulous patients had a 2-year and 6-year follow-up panoramic radiograph image.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mandibular bone structure of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and compare to control group via the fractal analysis (FA) and radiomorphometric indices in the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Methods: Three observers retrospectively investigated 44 CBCT images to compare patients with CRF to healthy controls. FA was performed in two different areas, volume of interests (VOI) were chosen in the mandibular ramus and corpus.
Objective: To evaluate the trabecular bone density in the mandible of paediatric patients diagnosed with sleep bruxism (SB) using the fractal analysis method on panoramic radiographs.
Methods: A total of 37 patients whose anamnesis and clinical signs were compatible with SB were diagnosed with SB using BiteStrip . Three areas were identified on the panoramic radiographs of the patients: the geometric center of the condyle, the angulus region under the mandibular canal, and the distal region of the mental foramen.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the mandibular bone structures of multiple myeloma (MM) patients on panoramic radiographs using fractal analysis (FA) and radio-morphometric indices.
Methods: The study group consisted of 67 MM patients, and the control group consisted of 67 individuals without any systemic disease. The mandibular cortical index (MCI) classification, antegonial index (AGI), gonial index (GI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), panoramic mandibular index (PMI) and fractal dimensions (FD) were evaluated on panoramic radiographs.
