Abstract

Background: The trabecular bone surrounding dental implant show some structural changes during healing period. The purpose of this study is to observe the change in trabecular bone with fractal dimensional analysis from baseline to 3rd month of implant placement. It was also aimed to determine the correlation of fractal dimension (FD) change with morphometric indices, mandibular cortical index (MCI) and mandibular cortical width (MCW).
