简介
OBJECTIVES
The aim was to test for correlations of 7 panoramic radiomorphometric indices with lumbar spine and hip bone mineral densities (BMDs) and to test the accuracy of these indices for predicting osteoporosis and a T-score ≤−2.0.
STUDY DESIGN
Mandibular cortical indices, simple visual estimations of cortical widths, mental and antegonial indices, antegonial depth, gonial and antegonial angles, and BMD were measured in 351 postmenopausal women.
RESULTS
Associations were demonstrated between BMDs, qualitative indices, and cortical measurements. In the case of severely eroded mandibular cortices, the odds ratio (OR) for osteoporosis (according to the World Health Organization criteria) was 4.82 and the OR for a T-score ≤−2.0, the threshold to begin treatment, was 10.87. In the case of very thin mandibular cortices, the ORs were 8.02 and 5.46 for osteoporosis and a T-score ≤−2.0 …
