Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the mandible's length, width, and height in patients with hypertension and T2DM through panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: This study used the observational analytical description method, which has been used in this study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 48 panoramic radiographs from 24 patients with hypertension and T2DM, divided into two age groups: those under 60 and those 60 years or older. The radiographs were analyzed using ImageJ to measure the mandible's length, height, and width, and the results were averaged. Results: The study found no significant differences in the length, width, or height of the mandible between the disease groups or the age groups. Conclusion: The mandible's length, width, and height values in hypertension and T2DM do not show statistically significant differences. This explains that the bone quality between patients with hypertension and T2DM is not much different.
