“…. A systematic review and meta‐analysis revealed that the mandibular cortical width and panoramic mandibular index are, overall, useful tools that can potentially be used by dentists to screen for low BMD. The advantage of these indices is that they are easy‐to‐use, low‐cost tools, which dental practitioners can employ to detect early signs of osteopenia and osteoporosis.…”

“…In this study, osteoporosis is evaluated by MCI, which has been demonstrated to be useful for assessing osteoporosis in the literature by >20 studies 2,3,26,27 and confirmed in patients with pathologic bone fractures. Therefore, the conclusion reached in the present study carries more weight than the findings of the abovementioned studies, 2 given that osteoporotic fracture represents the highest grade of osteoporosis, irrespective of the fracture patient's bone mineral density.…”

“…32 Although quantitative methods would be more accurate, various studies have confirmed that MCI is a reliable method for diagnosing osteoporosis. 27,33,34 In this study, it is chosen as the diagnostic method for osteoporosis because of its simplicity and reproducibility. 35 Also, the same tool (panoramic radiography) could be used to evaluate osteoporosis and MBL.…”

Background: Fitting implants in osteoporotic patients has traditionally been controversial, and there is little scientific evidence relating osteoporosis to marginal bone loss (MBL). The aims of this study are as follows: 1) to evaluate the possibility of a correlation between osteoporosis, as measured by the mandibular cortical index (MCI), and MBL and 2) to assess how various systemic diseases, periodontitis, and placement of implants in regenerated bone are correlated with MBL and MCI.Methods: This retrospective study examines 212 implants inserted in 67 patients. To take a possible cluster failure into account, an implant for each patient was selected (n = 67 implants). MBL was assessed. Osteoporosis was evaluated using the MCI. Both MBL and MCI were assessed from panoramic radiographs. x 2 test was performed (Haberman post hoc test). Significance was P <0.05.Results: When the total sample implant (N = 212) was evaluated, a significant association was found between the presence of osteoporosis and MCI (P <0.001) and between the presence of diabetes mellitus and MCI (P <0.01). Significant associations were also found between MBL and placement of implants in regenerated sites (P <0.001) and between MBL and a previous history of periodontitis (P <0.05). When the sample is evaluated only in selected implants (one per patient, n = 67), significant differences appear to relate only to the MBL with the placement of implants in regenerated bone sites (P <0.001).Conclusions: Osteoporosis (as evaluated by MCI) does not pose a risk for the development of greater MBL. Parameters adversely affecting the development of increased MBL are a previous history of periodontitis and especially the placement of implants at sites of bone regeneration.

“…Unlike the alveolar crest, this anatomic reference is stable and unaffected by changes that may occur during implant placement and bone augmentation. 25 The results demonstrated increased ridge width from before surgery to 9 months after implant placement and bone augmentation surgery. In particular, the ridge width of the osteopenic/osteoporotic group increased significantly over time, demonstrating the success of bone augmentation as assessed by CBCT.…”
