Fig. 1From: Evaluation of mandibular trabecular and cortical bone by fractal analysis and radiomorphometric indices in bruxist and non-bruxist patientsRepresentation of the Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI) according to Klemetti (1994). 1) normal cortex appearance with even and sharp endosteal margins on both sides, (2) semilunar defects and/or endosteal cortical residues on one or both sides of the endosteal margin of the cortex 3) severe endosteal cortical residues and porosity in the cortical layerBack to article page
