Table 3 Studies using fractal analysis for evaluating healing and monitoring bone after a root canal.
From: Decoding dental images: a comprehensive review of fractal analysis
Author(s) | Year | Aim/Objective | Key Findings |
|---|---|---|---|
Lee et al. [74] | 2005 | Evaluate bony changes in apical lesions | FD difference decreased over time post-treatment |
Chen et al. [34] | 2009 | Monitor periapical lesion healing post-RCT | FD increased after successful RCT |
Yu et al. [34] | 2009 | Assess FD pre- and post-RCT | FD lower after 6 months post-RCT |
Aydin et al. [35] | 2021 | Compare FD in diabetic vs. healthy post-RCT | FD increased; lower increase in diabetic patients |
Tosun et al. [36] | 2022 | Compare FD and PAI in retreatment | FD increased in healed cases; FD decreased in unhealed; no strong correlation with PAI |
