Radiomorphometric indices and their relation to gender, age, and dental status

摘要: Objectives To evaluate the antegonial index (AI) and mental (MI) in edentulous dentate patients, different age groups between genders. Study design We evaluated 312 panoramic radiographs grouped them into 4 10-year groups. Gender, dentition status were recorded. The measurements performed by 2 researchers independently. Results AI MI significantly smaller older females, whereas they greater for males ( P < 0.01). Edentulous individuals had a lower than partially Conclusions There is continuous remodelling mandibular cortex with this influenced dental gender. difficulty of measuring reproducible manner, its interaction low correlation younger patients should discourage use detecting at risk osteoporosis.
