The purpose of this study has a dual focus: firstly, to establish correlations between the characteristics of trabecular bone microstructure within different boundaries and an individual's chronological age and gender, thus facilitating the assessment of potential age and gender-related changes in TBM boundaries within the mandible. Secondly, the study aims to evaluate how these trabecular microstructural boundaries correspond to categorized age groups. A total of twenty cone-beam computed tomography scans were retrospectively selected from an adult patient dataset, spanning ages from 22 to 43 years. The region of interest in the mandible encompassed the interdental space between the second mandibular premolar and the first mandibular molar, along with the trabecular space beneath and between the apices. The DICOM images from the CBCT scans were pre-processed, transformed, segmented using an intelligent semi-automated thresholding technique, and quantified. Furthermore, TBM characteristics were derived, and a statistical analysis was conducted using a two-tailed Pearson correlation test.
