在早期阶段检测具有低骨量的个体的方法上已经进行了相当多的工作。一些研究人员考虑牙科X光检查是否可以在检测骨质疏松症患者方面发挥作用。一个基本的要求是，颌骨中的骨量与骨质疏松症是一个严重问题的其他骨骼部位的骨量有显著的关系。本研究的第一个目的是探讨下颌骨骨密度（BMD）和其他骨骼部位的骨密度之间的关系，通常用于检测骨质疏松症的骨密度。第二个目的是评估下颌骨BMD作为其他部位BMD预测指标的有效性。对40例无牙颌女性进行腰椎（L2-L4）双能X线吸收法（DXA）、右股骨颈DXA、前臂近端和远端单光子吸收法（SPA）和下颌骨DXA。下颌骨体部、下颌升支、下颌联合骨密度与其他部位骨密度之间存在显著相关性（p
A considerable amount of work has been performed on methods of detecting individuals with low bone mass at an early stage. Some researchers have considered if dental radiographs could have a role in the detection of individuals with osteoporosis. A basic requirement for this would be that bone mass in the jaw relates significantly to that of other skeletal sites in which osteoporosis is a significant problem. The first aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mandibular bone mineral density (BMD) and that of other skeletal sites commonly used for bone densitometry in the detection of osteoporosis. The second aim was to assess the validity of mandibular BMD as a predictor of BMD in these other sites. 40 edentulous females underwent dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine (L2-L4), DXA of the right femoral neck, single photon absorptiometry (SPA) of the proximal and distal forearm and DXA of the mandible. Significant correlations were observed between BMD in the mandibular body, ramus and symphysis and all other skeletal sites (p
