Validity of Panoramic Indices to Evaluate the Association of Bone Mineral Density with Morphology of the Mandible in Osteoporotic Patients
Objective: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone decreasing bone mineral density (BMD) particularly in postmenopausal women. On the other hand, panoramic radiography has several applications in dentistry. It appears that by calculating some indices on panoramic radiographs, we may be able to predict the risk of osteoporosis in high-risk individuals. The present study w...

Statement of Problem: Bone material density (BMD) is significantly decreased among postmenopausal women leading to the most common metabolic disease, osteoporosis.Multiple bone fractures are of the most important consequences of this disease, which cost too much for thesociety. One of the cheapest and most available methods for the diagnosis of bone density changes is bone radiomorphometric eva...
متن کاملComputer-aided system for measuring the mandibular cortical width on panoramic radiographs in osteoporosis diagnosis [5747-84]
Osteoporotic fractures are associated with substantial morbidity, increased medical cost and high mortality risk. Several equipments of bone assessment have been developed to identify individuals, especially postmenopausal women, with high risk of osteoporotic fracture; however, a large segment of women with low skeletal bone mineral density (BMD), namely women with high risk of osteoporotic fr...
متن کاملRisk assessment of osteoporosis in pre- and postmenopausal periodontally healthy and chronic periodontitis women with digital panoramic radiographs
Background Osteoporosis is particularly high in females, the early identification of which remains a challenge. Panoramic radiographs are routinely advised to detect periodontal diseases and can be used to predict low bone mineral density (BMD). Hence, this investigation was aimed to identify the risk of osteoporosis in pre- and postmenopausal periodontally healthy and chronic periodontitis wom...
متن کاملPrediction of age-related osteoporosis using fractal analysis on panoramic radiographs
PURPOSE This study was performed to evaluate the trabecular pattern on panoramic radiographs to predict age-related osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-one postmenopausal osteoporotic women and 25 postmenopausal healthy women between the ages of 50 and 88 were enrolled in this study. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae and femur were calculate...
متن کاملEvaluation of Frequency Pattern of Risk Factors for Decreased Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women Referred to the Bone Mineral Density Assessment Center of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan during Years 2018 and 2019
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease in which the internal structure and ability of bone to repair its daily damage is impaired. Menopause is a vital period that affects bone health, causing rapid loss of bone mass, which in turn increases the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. The present study was performed to evaluate the frequency pattern of risk factors for dec...
