Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate radiographic changes of the mandible by mandibular cortical index MCI within a Senegalese populationMaterials and Methods The study was performed on digital panoramic radiographs of Senegalese melanoderm subjects The radiographs were classified into 3 age groups 1840 years Group I 4155 years Group II 56 years and over Group III The MCI was ranked according to Klemetti in three scores C1 C2 and C3 The score was assigned by observing the morphology of the lower mandibular cortex The chisquare test was used to study the relationship of MCI with age and sex The level of significance was set at p 005Results A total of 82 numerical radiographs were selected In men 7907 n 34 had normal cortex C1 and 69 n 27 in women The C2 variant was more common in women n 10 and the C3 score was only found in women The appearance of the lower cortex of the mandible was significantly associated with age p 0009Conclusion This study has shown that MCI is a sensitive tool for the diagnosis of bone changes in the mandible in black African populations However these assertions should be confirmed by other studies with more representative samplesKeywords Bone remodeling Panoramic xray Mandible Radiography digital African population
