Use of digital panoramic radiography as an auxiliary means of low bone mineral density detection in post-menopausal women

Abstract: Objectives: To correlate the radiomorphometric indices obtained using digital panoramic radiography (DPR) with bone mineral densities, evaluated by the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry test, in a population of post-menopausal females to identify patients with asymptomatic low bone mineral densities. Methods: The morphology of the mandibular cortex was evaluated using the mandibular cortical index (MCI) and the inferior mandibular cortex width was evaluated using the mental index (MI) in 64 female patients who … Show more

“…Despite the fact that MCI is an indicator for peripheral bone quality, 28 it has also been found to play a decisive role in the diagnostic performance of the present classification, according to the sensitivity and specificity analyses presented in Table 3. Furthermore, the correlation among MCI and MCW and patient age observed in this study supports results from studies that validated these indices to predict bone alterations such as osteoporosis because bone density is expected to decrease as the patient grows older 26 …”

“…Images were taken using 60 kV, 4 mA, 0.5‐mm copper filter exposure conditions and were analyzed using imaging processing software § . The mandibular cortical width (MCW) was measured at both mental foramen regions according to previous methodology 26 . Briefly, images were corrected using a magnification factor of 1.3.…”

“…Much has been studied about bone quality of dental structures of individuals with systemic conditions that may result in decreased BMD, such as osteoporosis (4), postmenopause (10), celiac disease (11) and osteogenesis imperfect (12). However, there are no studies with radiomorphometric analysis in individuals with T1DM.…”

“…Many researchers advocate its use for screening for osteoporosis [4,8,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] by the fact that the mandibular cortical bone may reflect changes in bone architecture of other sites from skeleton [4,12,15].…”
