Abstract

Mandibular growth and development are often used as indicators of age.  Dentists perform fractal analysis using panoramic radiographs to assess mandibular bone density during its growth and development. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the differences in the mean of fractal analysis values of individuals from the Batak Tribe using a panoramic radiograph. The method used was a cross-sectional design comprising 120 panoramic radiographs. Based on age category, the radiographs were divided equally into Groups 1 (ages 6-12 years), 2 (13-18 years), 3 (19-24 years), 4 (25-35 years), 5 (36-45 years) and 6 (45-60 years). ImageJ software was used to measure density, and data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and LSD statistical tests. The highest to lowest mean of right and left fractal analysis values were observed in groups 4, 5, 3, 6, 2, and 1, respectively. The results showed significant differences in fractal analysis value across age groups within the Batak Tribe based on panoramic radiograph assessments.
