Relationship Between Femur Bone Mineral Density, Body Mass Index and Dental Panoramic Mandibular Cortical Width in Diagnosis of Elderly Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis

Relationship Between Femur Bone Mineral Density, Body Mass Index and Dental Panoramic Mandibular Cortical Width in Diagnosis of Elderly Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis

Objectives: To measure and determine mandibular cortical width (MCW) on the panoramic radiographs, to evaluate the usefulness of the method in identifying postmenopausal women with low femoral bone mineral densities (f- BMD) and to correlate the radiographic findings on panoramic radiographs wi...
