Objective: Finding the correlation between mandibular trabeculae bone density on panoramic radiograph and body mass index of men aged 5-35 years old. Material and Methods: The population of this study was male patients aged 5-35 years old who performed panoramic radiography at Radiology Installation of Faculty of Dentistry at Dental Hospital Padjadjaran University (UNPAD) with a total of 62 samples. ImageJ software was used to calculate the bone density and BMI values were calculated using the BMI formula. Results: The score of body mass index increased with age meanwhile the score of mandibular trabeculae bone density decreased. Conclusion: The r-value of this study was-0.341. There was no correlation between mandibular trabeculae bone density on panoramic radiographs and body mass index of men aged 5-35 years old.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
