目标.目的探讨曲面断层片下颌骨下皮质的宽度和形态在绝经后骨质疏松症诊断中的价值。对29例绝经前和95例绝经后妇女的下颌骨下皮质的宽度和形态与双能定量CT测量的第3腰椎骨小梁密度（TBMD）进行比较。下颌下皮质的宽度（Kendall's tau =-0.36，p < 0.001）和形态（Kendall's tau =-0.49，p < 0.001）与L3 TBMD之间呈显着负相关。回归分析显示，L3 TBMD与年龄（p < 0.001）、皮质宽度（p <0.05）、形态（p <0.05）、控制体重指数（BMI）、有牙数和绝经状态呈显著线性关系（R（2）= 0.42）。我们的研究结果表明，全景摄影可以是可靠的筛查骨质疏松症。版权所有（C）1996爱思唯尔科学有限公司IADMFR。
Objectives. To evaluate the usefulness of width and morphology of the inferior cortex of the mandible on panoramic radiographs in the diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis.Methods. The width and morphology of the mandibular inferior cortex on panoramic radiographs were compared with trabecular bone mineral density (TBMD) of the 3rd lumbar vertebrae (L3) measured by dual energy quantitative computed tomography in 29 premenopausal and 95 postmenopausal women.Results. There was a significant negative correlation between the width (Kendall's tau = -0.36, p < 0.001) and morphology (Kendall's tau = -0.49, p < 0.001) of the mandibular inferior cortex and the L3 TBMD. Regression analysis showed that significant linear relationships were observed between the L3 TBMD and age (p < 0.001), cortical width (p < 0.05), morphology (p < 0.05), controlling body mass index, number of teeth present and menopausal status (R(2) = 0.42).Conclusion. Our results suggest that panoramic radiography could be reliable in screening for osteoporosis. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd for IADMFR.
