From: Decoding dental images: a comprehensive review of fractal analysis
Author(s) | Year | Aim/Objective | Key Findings |
|---|---|---|---|
Shrout et al. [33] | 1998 | Compare FD in periodontitis vs healthy patients | Lower FD in periodontitis patients |
Sang-Yun et al. [25] | 2001 | Compare FD ratios in furcation vs interdental areas | Significant FD ratio difference in patients with furcation involvement |
Wagle et al. [72] | 2005 | Analyze FD in periodontal ligament in rats under load | Increased FD with mechanical loading |
Madan et al. [32] | 2007 | Evaluate fiber organization with relaxin effect | FD useful in studying orthodontic tooth movement |
Updike and Nowzari et al. [24] | 2008 | Detect trabecular changes in periodontitis | FD distinguished periodontitis from healthy, not mild vs severe |
Sener et al. [30] | 2015 | Detect trabecular changes via FD | FD significantly different between healthy and periodontitis groups |
Belgin and Serindere et al. [73] | 2020 | Compare FD in healthy vs periodontitis patients | Significantly lower FD in periodontitis |
Korkmaz et al. [26] | 2023 | Compare FD in aggressive periodontitis | FA detected significant trabecular differences; useful for predicting susceptibility |
Mishra et al. [44] | 2023 | Stage periodontitis using FD | FD decreased with higher stages; strong negative correlation with % bone loss |
