objective: the aim of this cross-sectional analytic study was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of panoramic-based indices of the mandible (mental index-mi, mandibular cortical index-mci and panoramic mandibular index-pmi) and to determine their correlation with bone mineral density (bmd) of the femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae (l2-l4) in order to assess the possibility of using these parame...
