The effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors on the human mandible.

There was no significant difference between the groups for age and gender (p = 0.57, p = 0.5). There were significant differences in the mean FD values between the study and control groups both for the ROI1 and ROI2 (p < 0.01, p < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the groups for the mean FD value of ROI3, MCW, PMI and KI (p = 0.93, p = 0.98, p = 0.74, p = 0.06). There were no significant differences for all the values between the SSRI subgroups (p = 0.52, p = 0.7, p = 0.76, p = 0.24, p = 0.31, p = 0.08) CONCLUSIONS: Trabecular rich sites of the mandible were found to be affected by SSRI usage.
