Avaliação radiográfica das alterações morfológicas na mandíbula decorrentes de perdas dentárias

TL;DRAbstract

The bone tissue undergoes structural changes according to the mechanical forces acting on it. In the mandibular bone, the lower teeth and muscles produce significant tension in the process of chewing and speech. Since the mandibular bone presents the dental arch and insertion of masticatory muscles, the aim of this study was to correlate the mandibular cortical thickness in the region of the mental foramen (MF) and gonial angle (GA) and the height of the coronoid process (CP) with right and left sides, age, gender, cephalic and facial types and number and location of tooth loss. The study population comprised 240 patients of both genders, age ranged from 21-80 years. After the facial and cephalic measures, all panoramic radiographs were photographed and imported to the program Radiocef Studio 2 in Radio Imp module, and the measurements were carried out by a single examiner in three distinct moments in the following regions: the mandibular basis up to the top edge of the mandibular cort
