Assessment of Mandibular Trabecular Bone by Fractal Analysis on Digital Panoramic Radiograph in Patients with Inherited Bleeding Disorder.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess mandibular trabecular bone health in patients with inherited bleeding disorders using fractal analysis (FA) on digital panoramic radiographs (DPR).

Methods: Thirty-five patients with hereditary bleeding disorders (hemophilia A or B, and von Willebrand disease (VWD)) and 35 healthy controls were included. Data were collected on factor levels, inhibitor status, bleeding history, factor replacement therapy, vitamin D use, and calcium supplementation.

Fractal Dimension Analysis of Mandibular Trabecular Bone in Patients Receiving Antiresorptive Therapy for Osteoporosis and Oncologic Conditions.

: This study aimed to assess the effects of antiresorptive drugs on mandibular trabecular bone structure in patients with osteoporosis and those receiving antiresorptive therapy for oncologic conditions using fractal dimension (FD) analysis of panoramic radiographs. Additionally, it investigated the influences of age, gender, drug type, administration route, and treatment duration on mandibular trabecular bone structure. This retrospective cross-sectional study included 73 patients categorized into the following three groups: 23 osteoporosis patients, 25 oncologic patients, and 25 systemically healthy controls.
