Özet
Aim: It was aimed to evaluate the bone microarchitecture of children with FMF in the city of Tokat, where the disease is highly prevalent, in Turkey, one of the countries where familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) disease is the most common, using mandibular indexes and fractal dimension analysis on panoramic radiography. Methods: In this retrospective study, the results were evaluated and compared using the mandibular cortical index (MCI), the mental index (MI), the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), and the fractal dimension analysis of six different regions (condyle, angulus, and interdental) on dental panoramic radiographs in 124 children with FMF and 124 healthy children. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS V23. Results: The distribution of MCI in children with FMF was similar to the control group (p > 0.05). The mean MI (3.59) values in FMF patients were statistically higher than the control group (p = 0.016). No statistically significant difference was found in PMI between the patients with FMF and the control group (p > 0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between the mean fractal dimension (FD) values according to the groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Trabecular bone microarchitecture of children with FMF is similar to healthy children. There is no correlation between the duration of colchicine use and bone microarchitecture.
