Abstract:Background: Different vertical dentofacial skeletal patterns may affect bone density of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and various mandibular structures. This study aimed to examine changes in mandibular trabecular structure in vertical dentofacial patterns using fractal analysis.
Methods: Dental-skeletal Class I patients randomly selected from the university orthodontic clinic were allocated into 3 groups (low angle, normal angle and high angle) according to the SN-GoMe angle. Bone density of mandibular s… Show more
