Objectives: Edentulous is the most common organ defects in the communities& shows the prevalence of this disability community's health. the World Health organization (WHO) recorded index periodically at intervals of a certain age as a determinant of oral health status has been recommended. the aim of this study was to radiographic evaluation of alveolar ridge height of maxillary and mandibular bone in edentulous men. Material and Methods: In this study, the team studied include of 96 patients referred to the radiology department of Ahwaz University of Medical Sciences during the July 2015 date was October 2016.after obtaining informed consent from individuals and fill out the form information, the panoramic radiograph was obtained. the results of this study using SPSS version 22, using descriptive statistics and T-test were analyzed statistically.
