Mandibular Cortical Bone Evaluation in a Healthy Paediatric Population.

Background: Changes in mandibular cortical bone have been documented in children with chronic diseases but not in healthy populations.

Aim: We aimed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the mandibular cortical bone of a healthy paediatric population using dental panoramic radiographs (DPTs). The secondary objective was to assess the effect of dental status on cortical bone.

A 5-year data report of traumatic dental injuries in children and adolescents from a major dental trauma center in Greece.
