    DETERMINATION OF MANDIBULAR BONE CHANGES IN PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY HYPOTHYROIDISM TREATED WITH LEVOTHYROXINE SODIUM
    (Acta Endocrinologica Foundation, 2023) Günen Yilmaz, Sevcihan; Bayrak, S.
    Background. This study aimed to assess fractal dimension (FD) and the radiomorphometric indexes on the digital panoramic radiography (DPR) of patient with primary hypothyroidism receiving levothyroxine sodium replacement therapy. Methods. A total of 115 subjects were included in this cross sectional retrospective study. According to the results of the thyroid function tests, the subjects were divided into two groups as primary hypothyroidism (levothyroxine sodium replacement therapy given), (n = 57) and the healthy control group (n = 58). The fractal dimension (FD), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), gonial index (GI) and mandibular cortical index (MCI) values of all patients were calculated on DPRs. The statistical analysis of all data was performed with SPSS version 22. Results. The distributions of age and gender in the primary hypothroidism group were similar to control group (p = 0.19 and p = 0.62, respectively). The two groups did not differ statistically significantly in terms of FD, PMI, MCW, GI, and MCI. Conclusion. We determined that mandibular cortical and trabecular bone structure did not significantly differ between healthy individuals and patients receiving drug replacement theraphy due to hypothyroidism, but our results should be further supported with the investigation of clinical parameters. © 2023, Acta Endocrinologica Foundation.

    The effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on changes in the fractal dimension of periapical lesion in teeth after root canal treatment: a fractal analysis study
    (Wiley, 2021) Aydın, Zeliha Uğur; Ocak, M. G.; Bayrak, S.; Bulut, Duygu Göller; Orhan, K.
    Aim This single-centre retrospective case-control study evaluated fractal dimension (FD) changes in radiographs of periapical lesions using a fractal analysis in healthy individuals and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients following root canal treatment. Methodology The study data consisted of two groups: the DM group which contained a total of 46 mandibular molar teeth in 37 patients with no systemic disease other than type 2 DM, and the control group which contained a total of 52 mandibular molar teeth in 41 patients without systemic disease. Periapical radiographs were obtained prior to root canal treatment and 1 year post-treatment. Fractal analysis was performed by selecting a region of interest on the periapical radiographs. For both groups, the FD changes in lesion area were calculated and compared. In addition, periapical status was evaluated using the periapical index (PAI) scores on periapical radiographs for both groups. Data were analysed using dependent-samplet-test, independent-samplet-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann-WhitneyU-test. Results In both groups, FD values were increased significantly 1 year post-treatment as compared with those prior to treatment (P < 0.05). The time-dependent increase in FD was significantly greater in the control group (P < 0.05). Time-dependent increases in FD did not differ between genders (P > 0.05). There was a significant decrease in PAI scores in both type 2 DM and control groups depending on time (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of time-related decreases in PAI scores (P > 0.05). Conclusion An increase in the FD of the periapical lesion area was observed 1 year after root canal treatment. DM had a negative effect on FD increase.
