Abstract
Objective
The aim was to evaluate changes in trabecular and cortical mandibular bone caused by antihypertensive (AHT) drugs through fractal analysis.
Study Design
This retrospective study included 230 patients who were taking AHT medication and had no conditions affecting bone metabolism other than hypertension. A control group of 230 healthy, sex-matched individuals was also included. Patients were divided into subgroups according to AHT drugs: thiazide diuretics (TDs), beta-blockers (BBs), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and a combination of drugs. The fractal dimension (FD) was calculated bilaterally in 5 regions of interest (ROI 1 – ROI 5) including 4 trabecular regions and 1 cortical region using Image J software.
Results
Mean FD values were significantly higher in all ROIs for the study group compared to the control group (P < .001). FDs were significantlty higher for BB, ACEI, ARB, CCB, and combined subgroups compared to controls in ROIs 1, 2, and 4; for ACEI and CCB subgroups compared to controls in ROI 3; and for TD, BB, ACEI, ARB, CCB, and combined subgroups compared to controls in ROI 5 (P < .001).
Conclusions
AHTs may increase FD values of the trabecular and cortical structures. Assessment of the effects of AHT drugs is essential for predicting the prognosis for bone healing after tooth extraction, osseointegration after implant surgery, or other surgical procedures.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
