Objective: To compare the radiomorphometric parameters of mandibular trabecular and cortical bone of females with and without cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD).
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional paired study was conducted. Digital panoramic radiographs were obtained from females diagnosed in a public service of Oral Medicine. The participants were divided into two groups of 50 subjects each: females with a diagnosis of COD (COD group) and females without a diagnosis of COD (non-COD group), randomly chosen from the image database and paired for age. The radiomorphometric parameters analyzed were: mandibular cortical width (MCW), fractal dimension (FD) and mandibular cortical index (MCI). The paired -test and Wilcoxon test were used to compare MCW and FD values and the McNemar-Bowker test compared the MCI.
Results: The mean age of both groups was 46.84 ± 11.38 years. The median MCW index was 3.12 mm (2.15-4.55) for the COD group and 3.52 mm (1.90-4.70) for the non-COD group ( = 0.034). The mean FD value of the COD group (1.2039 ± 0.0926) was lower than that of the non-COD group (1.2472 ± 0.0894) in the anatomical region of the interest of mandibular cortical bone ( = 0.031), while no difference was detected in alveolar trabecular bone. The C3 degree of MCI was more frequent in the COD group ( = 0.009).
Conclusion: Females with COD had lower values of radiomorphometric parameters in mandibular cortical bone than females of the same age without COD. These results suggest that, in addition to the dental care recommended in the literature, COD females also require more attention and screening for low bone mineral density.

The presence of maxillary sinusitis can complicate dental procedures. This study aimed to explore the relationship between maxillary sinus radiomorphometric factors, observed in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, and inflammatory sinus diseases. In this cross-sectional study, CBCT images from patients referred to a private radiology center between January 2018-January 2020 were analyzed.

Objectives: The goal of this examination was to compare the impact of probable sleep/awake bruxism on the mandibular trabecular bone structure by fractal analysis (FA) with digital panoramic radiograph (DPR) and radiomorphometric measurements in paediatric patients with bruxism.
Methods: The examination included 130 participants with 63 patients with probable sleep/awake bruxism and 67 control groups. Bilateral regions of interest (ROI) in three regions were examined as ROI1: mandibular ramus, ROI2: mandibular angulus, ROI3: anterior to the molar teeth.
The Utility of Radiomorphometric Mandibular Indices on Cone Beam Computer Tomography in the Assessment of Bone Mass in Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: The present study examined the potential use of computed tomography radiomorphometric mandibular indices on cone beam CT (CBCT) for the assessment of bone density in postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
Methods: We included 104 postmenopausal women who received dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) using a DXA scanner and mental foramen (MF) region CBCT using a NewTom VGi EVO Cone Beam 3D system. We assessed the relationships between the following DXA parameters: lumbar, femoral neck, and total hip T-scores, bone mineral density (BMD), lumbar trabecular bone score (TBS), and mandibular inferior cortical bone thickness at 4 sites.

Scottish Fold cats (Felis catus, Linnaeus 1758) are one of the most well-known and popular cat breeds in the world, characterized by their folded ears attached to the head. Very frequently, cats fall prey of different trauma and accidents that can cause bone fractures especially in the metapodial bones. The method of radiometry is used in veterinary practice to visualize and measure different parts of the animal skeleton.

Objectives: To determine the most distinctive quantitative radiomorphometric parameter(s) for the detection of MRONJ-affected bone changes in panoramic radiography (PR) and cone-beam CT (CBCT).
Methods: PR and sagittal CBCT slices of 24 MRONJ patients and 22 healthy controls were used for the measurements of mandibular cortical thickness (MCT), fractal dimension (FD), lacunarity, mean gray value (MGV), bone area fraction (BA/TA), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.
