IDIOS: An innovative index for evaluating dental imaging-based osteoporosis screening indices

Abstract

PurposeThe goal of this study was to develop a new index as an objective reference for evaluating current and newly developed indices used for osteoporosis screening based on dental images. Its name; IDIOS, stands for Index of Dental-imaging Indices of Osteoporosis Screening.Materials and MethodsA comprehensive PubMed search was conducted to retrieve studies on dental imaging-based indices for osteoporosis screening. The results of the eligible studies, along with other relevant criteria, were used to develop IDIOS, which has scores ranging from 0 (0%) to 15 (100%). The indices presented in the studies we included were then evaluated using IDIOS.ResultsThe 104 studies that were included utilized 24, 4, and 9 indices derived from panoramic, periapical, and computed tomographic/cone-beam computed tomographic techniques, respectively. The IDIOS scores for these indices ranged from 0 (0%) to 11.75 (78.32%).ConclusionIDIOS is a valuable reference index that facilitates the evaluation of other dental imaging-based osteoporosis screening indices. Furthermore, IDIOS can be utilized to evaluate the accuracy of newly developed indices.

Detecting the effect of bisphosphonates during osteoporosis treatment on jawbones using multidetector computed tomography: The OSTEOSYR project

“…It was found that the cortical bone measurements (thickness or density) could reflect the changes in the skeletal BMD, in contrast to the trabecular bone measurements . This result was confirmed in a 24‐year follow‐up study .…”

“…This would make the investigation process better. The used indices are good indices for osteoporosis screening from dental radioimages …”

Osteoporotic alterations in a group of different ethnicity Brazilian postmenopausal women: An observational study

“…However, access to DXA examination is significantly limited in a number of countries . Fortunately, obtaining evidence of osteoporotic alterations is also possible by assessing radiomorphometric indices on panoramic radiographs, which are widely applied in dental clinical practice because of their low cost and wide availability. Among the radiomorphometric indices, the mandibular cortical index (MCI) is useful for screening postmenopausal women at risk of osteoporosis because it is inversely correlated with systemic BMD .…”

Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity is Associated With the Risk of Osteoporosis: A Cross-Sectional Evidence From A Chinese Community-Based Cohort

“…Second, OSTA was the only measurement representing osteoporosis and fracture risk in this study. Future studies should search a link between other markers of osteoporosis and arterial stiffness, such as Mandibular cortical width, a marker of osteoporosis detected by dental panoramic radiographs (40). Third, information such as physical activity and alcohol consumption were not collected.…”
