Evaluation of fractal analysis and radiomorphometric measurements of mandibular bone structure in bruxism and non-bruxism paediatric patients.
Article in Oral radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe goal of this examination was to compare the impact of probable sleep/awake bruxism on the mandibular trabecular bone structure by fractal analysis (FA) with digital panoramic radiograph (DPR) and radiomorphometric measurements in paediatric patients with bruxism.
methodsThe examination included 130 participants with 63 patients with probable sleep/awake bruxism and 67 control groups. Bilateral regions of interest (ROI) in three regions were examined as ROI1: mandibular ramus, ROI2: mandibular angulus, ROI3: anterior to the molar teeth. Radiomorphometric measurements were taken of the mandibular cortical width (MCW), panoramic mandibular index (PMI), and mandibular cortical index (MCI). p < 0.05 was approved for statistical significance.
resultsThe ROI-1, ROI-2, and ROI-3 values were defined to be statistically significantly high in the bruxism group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the groups in the other values (p > 0.05). There was no difference in the age and gender for any of the parameters (p > 0.05).
conclusionIn children and adolescents, the mandibular trabecular bone can be affected by bruxism. FA can be used as an auxiliary method for finding the mandibular trabecular differences of patients with bruxism in paediatric dentistry just as it can for adults.
