Title: [Measurement on bone density of children's mandible by quantitative computed tomography].
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To explore the change of bone density of children's mandible measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT). METHODS: 71 children aged between 10-16 years were measured by QCT in left mandible angle, middle of mandible and right mandible angle. The differences were analyzed according to the age and sex respectively. RESULTS: The density of mandible of left mandible angle, middle of mandible, right mandible angle were 44.29, 89.70, 54.31 mg/dL in the 10-12 ages group, and 63.85, 122.47, 70.23 mg/dL in the 13-16 ages group. CONCLUSION: Male youngster's mandible density was increased with the age between 10-12 and 13-16 ages. There were significant differences between left mandible angle, middle of mandible and right mandible angle. There were significant differences of mandible density between male and female.
