Evaluation of mandibular bone density in bruxers: the value of panoramic radiographs

Objectives This study aimed to establish a difference in mandibular bone density between bruxer and non-bruxer patients, based on panoramic radiographs. Methods Panoramic radiographs of bruxer and non-bruxer patients were analyzed with ImageJ ® . Several radiological determinants were studied on the...

Description
Summary:Objectives This study aimed to establish a difference in mandibular bone density between bruxer and non-bruxer patients, based on panoramic radiographs. Methods Panoramic radiographs of bruxer and non-bruxer patients were analyzed with ImageJ ® . Several radiological determinants were studied on the patients' panoramic radiographs: gray values of cancellous bone and cortical bone, and bony exostoses at the mandibular angle. Results Thirty-seven bruxers and forty-seven non-bruxers were included in the study. A statistically significant difference ( p
