Evaluating mandibular symphysis bone density according to various skeletal patterns with CBCT

Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the bone density (BD) at the mandibular symphysis according to horizontal and vertical patterns using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT). Setting and Sampling Three hundred nineteen untreated adults with a mean age of 24 years. Material...

Description
Summary:Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the bone density (BD) at the mandibular symphysis according to horizontal and vertical patterns using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT). Setting and Sampling Three hundred nineteen untreated adults with a mean age of 24 years. Materials and Methods CBCT images were converted into the lateral cephalometric images, and tracings were performed for categorizing the patients based on skeletal features. Cortical BDs at B point, pogonion (Pog), genion (Ge) and menton (Me), and cancellous BDs of the mandibular symphysis were measured using CBCT images. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of horizontal and vertical skeletal patterns on BDs. Results Females exhibited higher BD than males at the Me, Pog, Ge (P
