“…Studies have shown a correlation between radiomorphometric indexes in dental radiographs and the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, femoral neck and jaw. [10][11][12][13] Panoramic radiography is a low-cost exam that is routinely performed in dental clinics, and a large number of tests are performed annually to aid in the diagnosis of oral pathologies, such as dental caries. Hence, it would be beneficial if radiographs could be used to identify menopausal women with undetected osteoporosis.…”

“…[4][5][6][25][26][27][28] Panoramic radiography can be considered an auxiliary tool for dentists in the detection of possible alterations and bone fractures in the jaw, especially in postmenopausal women. 13,14,29 Measurements of MI, PMI, and AD have already been used and have been validated in the scientific literature. 10,[17][18][19]29 In the postmenopausal subjects in this study, the values of both MI (p = 0.0054) and AD (p < 0.0001) were lower in the HIV group compared with those in the control group.…”

The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has caused a reduction in mortality, thus contributing to an increase in the number of women with HIV/AIDS who reach the climacteric period, experience decline in ovarian function, and develop complications of viral infection and HAART, which can accelerate bone loss. The aim of this study was to detect possible alterations in the jaws of HIV-infected women by panoramic radiography. The study comprised a total of 120 women above 40 years of age who were divided into the following two groups: women who are HIV positive (Group I) and women with no known HIV infection (Group II). Measurement of the following three radiomorphometric indexes was performed by panoramic radiography: Mental Index (MI), Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI) and Antegonial Depth (AD). A total of 70% of women in the control group and 50% of women in the HIV group were in the postmenopausal period, and the average values of both MI (p = 0.0054) and AD (p < 0.0001) for this period were lower in the HIV group than in the control group. For patients who were in the premenopausal period, the average AD was lower in the HIV group than in the control group (p = 0.0003). Despite the difference in the average age between groups, greater bone resorption in the mandible was found in the group of HIV-positive women.

“…Panoramic radiograph performed using Panora deluxe dental X-ray unit with the voltage setting, currents, strong, and successive exposure time, were 70-80 kVp, 12mA, and 12 s. The panoramic radiography processing is done digitally using DBSWin 4.5, Durr Dental. In [16] also used these images for obtaining the correlation between the trabecular texture features and BMD. Fig.1 shows the periapical and the panoramic images.…”

Abstract-Osteoporosis screening using dental X-Ray images has been growing an interesting research. Existing methods for osteoporosis screening have been performed using the dental periapical or panoramic in X-Ray images. There was limited research using both the periapical and panoramic due to the expensive cost of obtaining data. This paper presents a combination of the periapical and panoramic images for osteoporosis detection. The image processing was performed to obtain the shape-based features of the porous trabecular bone on both the dental radiograph images. The important features were selected from the extracted features. These selected features were chosen for osteoporosis detection using the decision tree. The quantitative evaluation used confusion matrix. It was found accuracy rate to be 73.33%, sensitivity rate to be 72.23, and specificity rate to be 72.23% for data testing.

“…Alguns autores encontraram correlações entre alterações no trabeculado ósseo e densidades minerais ósseas por meio de medidas de densitometria óptica, intensidade de pixels das radiografias e análise de dimensão fractal (19,48,61) . Entretanto, outros autores não encontraram essas correlações (52) .…”

“…Diversos autores observaram a correlação entre índices radiomorfométricos de radiografias odontológicas e as densidades minerais ósseas da coluna lombar, do colo femoral e também da mandíbula (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) . Com base no exposto anteriormente, é importante avaliar a utilização da radiografia panorâmica no rastreamento de pessoas com baixa densidade mineral óssea, a título de instrumento auxiliar no encaminhamento de pacientes para a realização de densitometria óssea.…”
