Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the impact of combined oral contraceptive use on mandibular bone microarchitecture.
Case-control design involving 290 women aged 18–50.
Comparison of 145 COC users with 145 age-matched controls.
Analysis of digital panoramic radiographs to assess bone structure.
Determination of fractal dimension values from three mandibular sites.
Computation of panoramic mandibular index values.
Individuals using COCs showed differences in mandibular bone microarchitecture compared to controls.
Fractal dimension analysis indicated variations in bone structure.
Panoramic mandibular index results support the influence of hormonal agents on bone health.
