RESUMO
Fibrous dysplasia is an alteration of development characterized by replacing normal bone for dense connective tissue and immature trabecular bones, typically found in teenagers and young adults. Genetic modification which involves alpha-Gs protein appears to be the basis of the process. The exact incidence and prevalence are difficult to be established, but injuries represent about 5% to 7% of benign bone tumors. On the craniofacial bones, the tumors have a predilection for the maxilla and often can cause severe deformity and asymmetry affecting both sexes equally. Radiographically, it may have different patterns depending on the image degree of mineralization and maturation of the lesion. The evaluation of radiographs of fibrous dysplasia in the craniofacial region can be difficult because of the different appearances and structures that overlaps, however, CT is an important resource for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to characterize the fibrous dysplasia by analyzing the lacunarity which is a multiscale method to describe patterns of spatial dispersion. We evaluated 10 patients (6 males and 4 females) and the maxillary was the most affected area. To the lacunarity analysis, we used an axial and coronal view and then were selected the regions of interest in the areas of dysplastic and contralateral normal bone by means of MATLAB® software. After tests and statistical analysis can be conclued that the coronal magnification 3x its original size showed superiority compared to thrust, and that the lacunarity was lower in the areas of dysplastic region in relation to normal bone, namely the first presented a more uniform texture than the second. Through this, the technique of cross-validation \"leave-one-out\" is possible to separate the groups with a high accuracy (94.75%) concluding that the lacunarity is a method of image analysis to characterize the contributory fibrous dysplasia.
