Mandibular cortical bone height in bruxism patients based on gonion and antegonial index

Abstract

Objective: To determine differences in the height of the mandibular cortical bone in patients with bruxism and those who were not. Material and Methods: This study used an analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. Samples taken were divided into two groups, each with 30 digital panoramic radiograph samples of people with bruxism and those not with bruxism. The study was conducted by measuring the height of the mandibular cortical bone on digital panoramic radiograph based Gonion Index (GI) and Antegonial Index (AI) using Image J application.Results: Bruxism patients aged 21-30 years were 27 people and aged 31-40 years were 3 people, with 12 male samples, and 18 female samples. Samples of non-bruxism patients aged 21-30 years were 28 people and aged 31-40 years were 2 people, with 15 male samples and 15 female samples. Conclusion: There was no difference in the height of the mandibular cortical bone in patients with bruxism and non-bruxism patients based on GI and AI.

Evaluation of Bone Quality in Patients With Bruxism

“…Aziza et al [14], who measured the mandibular cortical bone height according to GI and AI on OPGs in 30 bruxer and 30 non-bruxer individuals, found that these two index values were not statistically different between bruxer and non-bruxer individuals. In another similar study, Fauziah et al [17] formed two groups: 30 digital OPG samples of patients with bruxism and 30 digital OPG samples of patients without bruxism.…”

“…As far as we know, there are few studies in the literature evaluating the bone quality of patients with bruxism using radiomorphometric indices on OPG [2,13,14,17]. The rst study reporting the relationship between radiomorphometric indexes and bruxism is Isman's study in 2020 [2].…”

“…With OPG, bone morphology can be examined and values such as panoramic mandibular index [PMI], mental index [MI], antegonial index [AI], antegonial notch depth [AND], gonial index [GI] and mandibular cortical index [MCI] can be calculated. It has been reported in previous studies that these indices may differ between patients with and without bruxism [2,13,14]. In addition, complex structures, including trabecular bone, can be determined by giving numerical values with FD analysis in OPG [15].…”

“…These changes should be considered when planning dental treatment in patients with bruxism Therefore, in our study, the effects of bruxism on bone mineral density and shape were evaluated using HU value and radiomorphometric indices (9). As far as we know, there are few studies in the literature evaluating radiomorphometric indices on DPRs of bruxism (7,(11)(12)(13). The first study reporting the relationship between radiomorphometric measurements and bruxism status is Isman's (2020) study (7).…”

“…MI results with our study Although similar, in our study, PMI did not show a statistically significant difference on the right side while it showed a statistically significant difference on the left side. Aziza et al (12) , who measured the mandibular cortical bone height according to the gonial and antegonial index on DPRs in 30 bruxism and 30 non-bruxism patients, found that these two index values were not statistically different between bruxism and non-bruxism patients. In another similar study, Fauziah et al (13) created two groups: 30 DPRs of patients with bruxism and 30 DPRs of patients without bruxism.…”
