Quantitative Assessment of Bone Density at the Borders of Radiolucent Mandibular Lesions Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: Correlations With Lesion Aggressiveness
These findings suggest that CBCT-based bone density measurements can differentiate lesion aggressiveness, with regional variations reflecting biomechanical and pathological interactions, potentially guiding targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
