Author(s) | Year | Aim/Objective | Key Findings |
|---|---|---|---|
Ergun et al. [52] | 2008 | Case report on HPT | FD improved post-parathyroidectomy |
Arsan et al. [81] | 2017 | FD in TMJ disorders | Lower FD in more severe degeneration |
Sahin et al. [62] | 2019 | FD in MRONJ stages | No significant FD difference overall; only certain ROIs differed |
Gulec et al. [58] | 2021 | Evaluated FD in bruxism | Significant lower FD in condyles of bruxers |
Kocak et al. [59] | 2021 | Condylar FD in malocclusion | FD lower in controls; FA useful in structural assessment |
Turkmenoglu et al. [54] | 2022 | FD in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients | FD lower in condyles of RA patients; useful diagnostic tool |
Gunacar et al. [82] | 2022 | Mandibular changes in psoriasis | FD and morphometric indices useful |
Canger et al. [56] | 2023 | FD in ankylosing spondylitis | Lower FD in AS patients; risk of secondary osteoporosis |
Koprucu et al. [61] | 2023 | MRI vs FD in TMJ perforation | FD varied with MRI subclassifications |
Ozturk et al. [53] | 2024 | Bone changes in thyroid disorders | Lower FD in hyperthyroid; FA detects bone mass changes early |
Balkan et al. [55] | 2024 | FD change post-BTX in bruxism | FD decreased in masseter muscle attachment area |
Temur et al. [83] | 2024 | Jaw changes in children with RHD | FD showed unilateral and bilateral bone metabolism differences |
