Osteoporosis is often detected late and becomes severe because of a lack of subjective symptoms. Digital panoramic radiography (DPR) has been reported to be useful for osteoporosis screening based on the morphological classification of the mandibular...

Background and objective: In clinical practice, a comparative analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) is carried out by examining different skeletal bones. This is useful for screening of postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP). The objective of this study w...

Background and Objectives: Analysing the characteristics of the mandibular bone through panoramic radiographs could be useful as a prescreening tool for detecting individuals with osteoporosis. The aims of this study were to evaluate the possible ass...

Osteoporosis characterized by low bone mass/osteopenia can be identified using radiomorphometric indices in routine panoramic radiographs. This study estimates the prevalence of osteopenia in 50-80 years age group, using panoramic mandibular index (P...

The prevalence of osteoporosis is high, reportedly affecting 200 million people worldwide. A major problem associated with osteoporosis is that femoral fractures cause a decline in general function and loss of independence, greatly reducing patients&...

Background: Osteoporosis screening in dental practice is challenging because dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is not easily applicable to jaw bones. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a logistic regression model com...

Background: It is important to accurately determine the legal age at which a person is considered and treated as an adult; in many countries, it is 18. With the increasing migration flow to European countries, accurate age estimation methods must be...

Background: Changes in mandibular cortical bone have been documented in children with chronic diseases but not in healthy populations. Aim: We aimed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the mandibular cortical bone of a healthy paediatric pop...

The aim of this study was to assess the quality of mandibular bone using CBCT images in archeological populations that inhabited Croatia from the medieval to the Early Modern Period. A total of 88 human skulls (45 male and 43 female) from three sampl...

Congenital heart disease (CHD) has effects on growth and development. However, information on how the structure of the mandibular bone is affected is limited. In the present study, we aim to compare mandibular bone structures of children affected wit...

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA) and three panoramic indices in relation to z-score and t-score values using quantitative ultrasound (QUS) bone densitometry. The sensitivity,...

Background/Objectives: Thyroid hormone deficiency may impair bone metabolism, but its mandibular impact remains uncertain. We aimed to compare the prevalence of altered Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI; C2–C3) and Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI)...

Background/Objectives: To appraise the mandibular bone structure of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were treated with different drugs using fractal dimension (FD) analysis and panoramic radiomorphometric indices and investigate the effect...

Background/Objectives: Osteoporosis is a systemic disease associated with reduced bone mass, impaired bone microarchitecture, and thus an increased risk of bone fractures. Moreover, patients with osteoporosis are more likely to experience periodontal...

Background/Objectives: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a congenital disorder, in which the production of collagen, mainly type I, is altered, leading to a decrease in bone mineral density, increasing the risk of fracture with minimal trauma. Several...

Background: The present study examined the potential use of computed tomography radiomorphometric mandibular indices on cone beam CT (CBCT) for the assessment of bone density in postmenopausal women with low bone mass. Methods: We included 104 postme...

This bibliometric study evaluated the scientific impact of papers dealing with osteoporosis detected by dental panoramic radiographs by performing citation analysis and cited reference analysis. Retrospective data was extracted from the Web of Scienc...

Background and Objectives: This study retrospectively investigated the impact of regenerative endodontic treatments (RET) on the healing of periapical lesions in young permanent molars with open apices. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship...

Aim: the aim of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically full-arch implant prosthetic rehabilitations supported by six axial implants or four implants placed according to the All-on-Four protocol. Materials an...

Background and Objectives: We wished to evaluate the effect of antiresorptive agents (ARAs) on peri-implant tissues and to examine the risk factors for peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Materials and Methods: The study...
