The effects of vitamin D deficiency on mandibular bone structure: a retrospective radiological study

Abstract: Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D deficiency on the mandibular bone structure by fractal analysis and panoramic morphometric indices. Methods Ninety participants were divided into three groups as 30 individuals with severe vitamin D deficiency, 30 individuals with vitamin D deficiency, and 30 individuals with vitamin D sufficiency. Fractal dimension analysis (FD), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical index (MCI), an… Show more

“…Moreover, we found similar FD results between the groups with and without vitamin D deficiency in RTx patients. In a study, the mandibular FD values in patients with vitamin D deficiency were found to be statistically lower than those without vitamin D deficiency 50 . Our patient group consisted of individuals who were constantly followed up and to whom vitamin D replacement was given by measuring the serum vitamin D levels at frequent intervals.…”

“…A lack of enamel and progressive demineralization make the area more susceptible to cavities and caries. Bone resorption and negative calcium balance in osteoporotic patients also affect trabecular bone parameters like number, thickness, and connectivity [ 15 ], further increasing alveolar porosity [ 16 ]. Alveolar bone, maintained by healthy oral conditions and reinforced by biting occlusal forces [ 17 ], deteriorates and no longer supports the teeth.…”
