“…Presently, fractal dimension was calculated by the box-counting method as published by White and Rudolph. 22 It has been demonstrated that this methodology is able to show differences in bone density on panoramic radiographs of patients with osteoporosis, 42 43 hyperparathyroidism, 44 sickle cell anemia, 45 chronic kidney disease, 46 and osteogenesis imperfecta. 47 Apparently, it is the first study using fractal analysis for characterization purposes in a mandibular case of OR.…”

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare nonhereditary developmental condition usually affecting maxilla and female patients. A few number of articles have used the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to describe imaging findings in RO. Thus, this article aims to report unusual imaging findings in a Brazilian child who presented with mandibular RO. A healthy 8-year-old boy was referred for evaluation of an anterior mandibular gingival enlargement. Radiographically, all right mandibular teeth showed wide pulp chambers and shortened roots with thin dentinal walls and open apices, featuring a “ghost teeth“ appearance, which indicated a diagnosis of RO. Missing teeth and altered radiopacity were observed. Cone beam computed tomography provided great insight into RO, allowing to identify gubernaculum tracts (GTs) associated with RO teeth. Fractal analysis of the bone surrounding RO teeth revealed an altered trabecular pattern.Clinical significanceThis case describes a rare developmental teeth-related pathology in a boy who showed unusual features on imaging exams. The CBCT provided the observation of RO tooth-related GTs, probably a new finding added to the international literature regarding RO, as well as the pulp chamber volume characterization of an affected tooth not published yet. In addition, it was observed an altered fractal pattern of the mandibular bone adjacent to RO teeth, which has not been described to date.How to cite this article: de Sa Cavalcante D, Fonteles CSR, Ribeiro TR, Kurita LM, Pimenta AVM, Carvalho FSR, Costa FWG.

“…Our results are partially consistent with previous studies. Arsan et al 29 stated that FD value decreased as the level of bone degeneration increased in TMD patients. Arsan et al 29 associate this obtained results with loss of complexity in the trabecular structure and leads to a smoother form transformation by the effect of degenerative bone changes.…”

Updike and Nowzari 2 also pointed out that the demineralization-resorption process which started with periodontal disease caused to a decrease on trabecular complexity and consequently lead to a decrease in FD value.…”

“…Watanabe et al 36 reported that the FD of male group showed a higher degree of trabecular bone architecture and indicated that the structure of their bone is less prone to osteoporotic fractures. In the literature, there was only one study 37 evaluated of FD values of the condyle. They found that the FDs of the condylar heads in TMJs with disc displacement without reduction were higher than the FDs of those with disc displacement and reduction.…”
