MEASUREMENTS OF BONE DENSITY ON PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHS WITH ANGLE`S MALOCCLUSION CLASSIFICATION OF MALE PATIENTS AGED 13-30 IN RSGM UNPAD
Bone density is known as the amount of mineral in bone tissue or bone mineral
density, it follows the concept of mass of mineral per volume of bone. Assessment
of jaw bone density may be considered useful and necessary in planning of implant,
therapeutic evaluation and orthodontic and orthognathic treatments for
malocclusion patients.
The purpose of this research is to determine the results of the
measurement of jaw bone density on malocclusion male patients aged 13-30 years
old by using panoramic radiographs.
This research is done by using Image J software with 40 x 40 pixels intensity on
digital panoramic radiographs. The samples of 32 patients of Angle�s Class I
malocclusion, 26 patients of Angle�s Class II malocclusion and 22 patients of
Angle�s Class III malocclusion were obtained from Dental Hospital, Padjadjaran
University Bandung are collected to be analyzed by using descriptive statistics.
The mean trabecular percentage is 25.336% for Class I malocclusion, 24.477%
for Class II malocclusion, 24.364% for Class III malocclusion male patients. From
the results of the study, it can be concluded that individual with Angle�s class I
malocclusion indicates the highest bone density, followed by Class II and Class III
malocclusion
