This study will be observational study. The goal of this study is to evaluate the quality of mandible and to assess the correlation between the jaw bone quality in a sample of Egyptian patients with chronic renal failure and duration of dialysis using CBCT.
This study will be observational study. The goal of this study is to evaluate the quality of mandible and to assess the correlation between the jaw bone quality in a sample of Egyptian patients with chronic renal failure and duration of dialysis using CBCT. Twenty-six subjects will be included in this study. These will comprise (13) CKD patients "the study group" and (13) healthy patients "the control group" recommended for CBCT imaging for implant placement. The control group will be selected from the Prosthodontic department and Oral Medicine department of Faculty of Oral and Dental Medicine, Cairo University, the study group will be selected from Nephrology and the artificial kidney unit El Kasr -Al Ain Hospital, Cairo University.

CBCT imaging of participants, then take measurement by radiomorphometric indices
Mandibular cortical index(MCI)
Mandibular cortical index (MCI) is a qualitative index that determines the porosity degree of the lower cortical border of the mandible distal to the mental foramen.The lower border of the mandible can be classified into a three point scale according to MCI, C1: the cortex is sharp on both sides; C2: the cortex had semilunar defects(lacunar resorption) and c3: cortex is clearly porous
Time frame: Five months
Mental index(MI)
The quantitative index that used for cortical width measurement at the mental foramen region
Time frame: Five months
Panoramic mandibular index(PMI)
Measure the mandibular cortical thickness in relation to the distance between the mental foramen and the inferior border of mandible
Time frame: Fivemonths
Anti-gonial index(AI)
A quantitative index measure the cortical width in the region that is anterior to the gonion
Time frame: Five months
