I need a plug-in that allows me to analyze dedritic lenght, spine density and dendritic branching.
Hi,
I wouldn't recommend anything inside imagej. I would however recommend Neuronstudio. It is a free open source program that has a simple user interface, and allows for manual, semi-manual and automatic tracing of dendrites. It will also quantify spine density and morphology. It is also able to perform a simple sholl analysis and branch order analysis on your tracing. I highly recommend it.
For more information about it and other programs you can use with Neuronstudio, I recommend you check out a recent blog I wrote about them all. It contains all the links to the programs as well.
Best of luck!

No plug-in. The following paper could be of interest to you:
