Szczegółowy opis
Nail biting (onychophagia) is classified as a body-focused repetitive behavior and represents a common parafunctional habit, particularly among children and adolescents. Continuous repetitive mechanical forces generated during nail biting may affect the stomatognathic system; however, the possible effects of this habit on mandibular bone structure have not been sufficiently investigated.
Fractal analysis is a radiological assessment method used to evaluate trabecular bone architecture by quantifying structural complexity. Higher fractal dimension values indicate increased complexity of bone patterns. In addition, panoramic morphometric indices such as mandibular cortical width, panoramic mandibular index, and Klemetti index provide information regarding cortical bone quality and quantity.
In this retrospective case-control study, existing panoramic radiographs of individuals with and without nail biting habits will be evaluated. Radiological parameters including fractal dimension, mandibular cortical width, panoramic mandibular index, and Klemetti index will be compared between groups. This study aims to determine whether nail biting habit is associated with measurable changes in mandibular trabecular and cortical bone characteristics.

Kohorty i interwencje
Grupa / Kohorta |
|---|
|
Nail Biting Habit Group
This cohort includes systemically healthy children aged 8-10 years with a documented nail biting habit.
Existing panoramic radiographs obtained during routine dental examinations will be retrospectively analyzed.
Mandibular trabecular bone structure will be evaluated using fractal dimension analysis, and cortical bone characteristics will be assessed using mandibular cortical width, panoramic mandibular index, and Klemetti index measurements.
No intervention will be performed.
|
|
Control Group Without Nail Biting Habit
This cohort includes systemically healthy children aged 8-10 years without a history of nail biting habit.
Existing panoramic radiographs obtained during routine dental examinations will be retrospectively analyzed using the same radiological evaluation methods.
Mandibular trabecular and cortical bone characteristics will be compared with those of the nail biting habit group.
No intervention will be performed.

Mandibular Trabecular Bone Structure Assessed by Fractal Dimension Analysis
Ramy czasowe: Baseline
|
Mandibular trabecular bone architecture will be evaluated using fractal dimension analysis on panoramic radiographs.
Fractal dimension measurements will be performed using the box-counting method described by White and Rudolph.
Four regions of interest (ROIs) in the mandible will be analyzed, including the condylar subcortical region, supracortical region above the mandibular angle, area above the mandibular canal distal to the mental foramen, and anterior region of the mental foramen.
Measurements will be performed bilaterally, and the mean fractal dimension value will be calculated for each participant.
Higher fractal dimension values indicate greater trabecular bone complexity.
The fractal dimension values will be compared between individuals with and without nail biting habit.

Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI)
Ramy czasowe: Baseline
|
The panoramic mandibular index (PMI) will be calculated on panoramic radiographs as the ratio of mandibular cortical width to the distance between the inferior border of the mandible and the inferior margin of the mental foramen.
Measurements will be performed bilaterally, and the mean value will be used for analysis.
