Introduction: In view of the increase in the life expectancy of humans and in edentulism of the population above 50 years of age, in which the prevalence of osteoporosis is also higher, it is fundamental to better understand the effects of systemic bone mass loss on the healing process of dental implants and to determine the quality of the bone that surrounds them. The objective of the present study was to compare systemic osteoporosis (axial and femoral) and parameters of mandibular bone quality, and to evaluate osseointegration in postmenopausal women receiving dental implants. Methods: The sample consisted of 39 women aged 48-70 years, 19 with a densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis in the lumbar spine and femoral neck and 20 controls with a normal densitometric diagnosis. Bone mineral density was measured in the patients and controls by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Eighty-two osseointegrated dental implants were placed in the mandible, 39 of them in the osteoporosis group and 43 in the control group. Mandibular bone quality was evaluated by classifying mandibular inferior cortical and trabecular bone on panoramic radiographs and by histomorphometric analysis of a mandibular bone biopsy. Osseointegration was analyzed after 9 months. Results: No significant difference was observed between patients with osteoporosis and controls when comparing individuals with a normal cortex and those with a severely or moderately eroded cortex determined on panoramic radiographs, although patients with MEC/SEC had lower femoral neck BMD than those with NC (0.688 ± 0.17 vs. 0.814 ± 0.144 g/cm 2 , P<0.012). Histomorphometric analysis also revealed no difference in the parameters of bone formation or resorption between the two groups. Implant failure was observed in only one case. Conclusion: We conclude that there is an association between low femoral neck BMD and poor mandibular bone quality as assessed by panoramic radiography. The loss of one implant (1.2%) is compatible with the literature and cannot be attributed to systemic osteoporosis.

“…compararon el PMI con densitometrías en 355 mujeres postmenopáusicas en Finlandia y se concluyó que era muy difícil establecer una relación positiva entre dicho índice PMI y el estatus mineral óseo de las pacientes, medido mediante densitometrías, pero que, sin embargo, era de gran utilidad para prevenir la osteoporosis postmenopáusica, ya que si se observa un índice, en una paciente, inferior al de la media de la población en la que vive, se debe remitir esta paciente al reumatólogo para que sea tratada y diagnosticada de una posible osteoporosis (20).…”

Corcuera Flores JR, Manso Platero FJ, Martínez Maestre MA, Machuca Portillo G.Actualizaciones en la detección precoz de la osteoporosis RESUMENLa osteoporosis es una enfermedad sistémica del esqueleto, con amplia prevalencia sobre todo en mujeres postmenopáusicas. La ortopantomografía (OPMG) es una técnica radiológica de uso generalizado en las consultas de los odontólogos. En el presente estudio se hace una revisión de trabajos en los que, utilizando una serie de índices como: Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI), Mental Index (MI), Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI), Antegonial Index (AI), Gonial Index (GI), medidos sobre OMPG se plantea la hipótesis de poder detectar precozmente la osteoporosis por este medio. Los resultados expuestos en los diferentes estudios avalan esta hipótesis y así se podrá remitir a los pacientes al especialista para que se les haga un estudio más exhaustivo sobre dicha patología.

“…PMI was used in a group of postmenopausal women to determine whether it correlates with BMD of the femoral neck, lumbar area, and the trabecular and cortical parts of the mandible (Klemetti et al, 1993). BMD measured by DEXA for the femoral neck and lumbar area and by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) for the mandible.…”

SUMMARY:For the purposes of this report, "systemic disease" will be interpreted as conditions that are spread out within the body rather than localized strictly to the tissues of the oral cavity. Since it would take many volumes to review all such conditions, the intent of the authors is to review a few examples of conditions where initial panoramic radiographic findings suggested widespread disease of significance enough to affect the quality of life and longevity of the patient.
