“…The literature in orthodontics shows that FD analysis has been performed in many studies to explore the impact of functional appliance treatment and malocclusion on mandibular condyles and to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment on the mandibular bone (15,28,(35)(36)(37)(38). In addition, Ok and Kaya, in their study investigating the connection between dental effects of RME (rapid maxillary expansion) treatment and the patency of the midpalatal suture suggested that fractal analysis can also applied to determine the modifications of midpalatal suture and alveolar bone following RME treatment (15).…”

“…It was discovered that the space-closure group had a significantly higher T0/T1 change than the space-opening group. Köse et al, investigated whether there was a relation between total orthodontic treatment period and value of FD in patients of different ages (38). They found that total treatment period had a significant effect on fractal dimension and concluded that the physiological characteristics of alveolar trabecular bone and the estimation of tooth movement in orthodontics could be determined by fractal dimension values.…”

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the trabecular changes in alveolar bone structure after the treatment of congenital maxillary lateral incisor missing (CMLIM) with space-opening and -closure methods by fractal dimension (FD) analysis. Material and Methods: The study included 48 patients and three groups were formed: control (Group 1), space-opening (Group 2), and space-closure groups (Group 3). FD analysis was performed on panoramic images taken before (T0) and after (T1) treatment in the area of interest of trabecular alveolar bone determined in the distal apical region of the maxillary central incisor. For inter-group comparisons, the Kruskal-Wallis test was employed, while the Wilcoxon test was utilized for intra-group comparisons. The statistical significance was determined as p0.05). In Group 2, a significant decrease in FD values was observed during the T1 period compared to T0, whereas Group 3 showed a significant increase (p

“…In addition, Köse et al observed a negative relationship between fractal dimensions in the mandibular mental region and total orthodontic treatment time. Fractal dimension analysis has drawn attention to its importance for understanding the physiological properties of alveolar bone and predicting orthodontic tooth movement (49). In a study of fractal analysis of periapical bone, It is stated that high resolution shows the least variation in FD values at all compression levels, making it the most reliable and consistent resolution for measuring FD values (50).…”

“…In dentistry, it has been employed to study the systemic disease affecting the TMJ, bone healing around implants, and the effect of periodontal disease on the bone microstructure 15 , 19 , 33 – 35 . In orthodontics, it is used to investigate the midpalate suture activity, to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment duration on the mandibular bone, to assess the bone microstructure, and to examine the bone around the impacted maxillary canines 36 – 39 . Moreover, FA has been used to evaluate the effect of malocclusion on the mandibular condyles using 2D images and it has been employed to examine the impact of the mandibular transverse deficiency on the internal structure of the condyles using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images 15 , 25 .…”

Class III malocclusion is a combination of dental and skeletal disorders that causes discrepancies in occlusion. Malocclusion can affect the structure of the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) resulting in many problems, one of which is affecting the internal structure of the bone. This study aimed to examine the morphological features of class III patients’ trabecular structure of the mandibular condyle in comparison with normal class I individuals using fractal analysis (FA). To study the internal structure of the mandibular condyle bone, Computed Tomography (CT) scans of 45 severe class III patients (age: 16–46) who were the candidates for orthognathic surgery were selected and matched by age and sex with 45 normal class I individuals. The trabecular bone structure of the left and right mandibular condyles in three CT planes of the study group and control group were evaluated employing the FA. The result of the present study indicated that the fractal dimensions (FD) values of class III patients were lower than those of the normal class I individuals in axial (class I: 1.31 ± 0.02, class III: 1.28 ± 0.02), sagittal (class I: 1.25 ± 0.03, class III: 1.19 ± 0.08), and coronal (class I: 1.5 ± 0.06, class III: 1.45 ± 0.07) planes (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the FD values of the males and females. The intra-group evaluation revealed that there was no correlation between age and FD values. No evidence of laterality was found regarding the FD values of the right and left condyles. Given the noticeable differences between the FD values, it can be implied that severe class III malocclusion may affect the trabecular pattern of the cancellous bone of the mandibular condyle compared to class I individuals. Therefore, due to the altered trabecular structure, clinicians should be cautious when planning treatments for these patients.
