Abstrakt: Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the mandibular bone structure of patients with different malocclusions by using fractal dimension (FD) analysis on dental panoramic radiographic images.
Material and Methods: Pre-treatment panoramic radiographic images of 103 patients were included in the study and divided into 3 groups as Class I (group 1: 0Results: FD values were lower in Class I sagittal skeletal pattern than Class II and III groups in anterior ROI FD, premolar ROI FD, angulus ROI FD, and mean FD values. There were differences between Class I and Class III skeletal patterns (P=0.023 for anterior ROI FD, P=0.016 for premolar ROI FD, P=0.034 for angulus ROI FD, and P=0.014 for mean FD). Class I and II malocclusions differed in anterior ROI FD (P=0.029) and also Classes II and III showed differences in angulus ROI FD (P=0.029).
Conclusion: Sagittal skeletal patterns may result in differences in the structure of the mandibular trabecular bone.
