Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the radiomorphometric parameters of trabecular and cortical bone of the mandible in patients of osseous dysplasia. Methods: A total of 43 patients (40 females and 3 males) patients of osseous dysplasia and age-gender matched healthy 43 individuals (control group) were included in this study. The analyzed radiomorphometric parameters were fractal dimension, mandibular cortical width, and mandibular cortical index. Results:There were not significant differences in the mean fractal dimensions of selected regions between the two groups (P>.005). However in mandible, especially bone quality of condyle region was significantly lower in patients of osseous dysplasia (P<.005). There were no significant differences in mandibular cortical width between the two groups (P> .05). The mean mandibular cortical width was 2.3 mm in the patients of osseous dysplasia and 2.4 mm in the control group. Therefore there were no significant differences in mandibular cortical index between the two groups (P> .05). Conclusion: Especially fractal dimension of condyle region was significantly lower in patients of osseous dysplasia. Therefore, precaution is needed before surgical interventions in this region. It was also observed that the bone quality of the patients with the three variants of cemental dysplasia in the mandible was similar.
