Evaluating Optical Density of Alveolar Bone in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Abstract

The study involved an analysis of optical density of the maxillary and mandibular bone tissue based on cone-beam computed tomography data. It has been shown that the structure and bone tissue density depend on the severity of diabetes mellitus and complications. The results of the study revealed a significant decrease in the bone tissue optical density at the tooth necks in people suffering from diabetes mellitus, whereas fewer changes were manifested at the middle third of the dental roots. Minor changes or even an increase in the optical density were observed at the dental root tips.

Artificial neural networks in predicting impaired bone metabolism in diabetes mellitus

“…костных переломов при сахарном диабете (СД) 1-го и 2-го типа, чем в общей когорте обследуемых [1][2][3]. Методы, обычно используемые для диагностики костных изменений при сахарном диабете, включают анализ гормонального и электролитного гомеостаза, костных маркеров и двухэнергетическую рентгеновскую абсорбциометрию (DXA).…”

Variability of morphometric indicators of the craniofacial complex in patients with distal occlusion according to 3D cephalometry data

“…At the moment, digital 3D technologies are leading positions in the application of orthopedic dentistry and orthodontics in creating diagnostic protocols. Dentists of this profile use these technologies to research the relationships between deviations in the balance of occlusion, posture, disorders in the TMJ and problems with the muscles of the maxillary fossa [9,16].…”
