Bone mineral density and mandibular residual ridge resorption.

摘要: Purpose: This prospective, cross-sectional study evaluated the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and width height parameters of mandibular residual ridge. Materials Methods: BMD was determined in lumbar spine femoral necks by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) 45 edentulous, postmenopausal women (mean age, 72.08 ± 8.53 years) who had used conventional complete dentures for at least 3 years. Measurements ridge were performed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Height measurements midline adjacent to mental foramina. Data analyzed with descriptive analytic statistics. The assessed analysis variance as well linear multivariate regression analyses. Eight patients excluded from because they did not both required imaging analyses (DXA and/or CBCT). Results: There no statistically significant regions foramina, existed foramina regions. Conclusions: Postmenopausal reduced general do appear have a reduction size
