Osteoporosis is a chronic, multifactorial condition characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) which may eventually lead to fractures and even death. Signs and symptoms do not appear until the occurrence of bone fractures which may lead to severe disability and eventually death hence the importance of early diagnosis. In this pathology the bone density and structure of the jaw are also affected. Therefore, the role of the dentist becomes important since techniques such as cone-beam computed tomography, oral periapical and panoramic x-rays can be used to assess radiomorphometric indices of the mandible. For this review, a search was performed in the PubMed database, using the MeSH descriptors "osteoporosis" "imaging" "screening" "dentistry" and "panoramic", 124 articles were obtained in English and 12 were chosen with the inclusion criteria being articles within the last ten years with relevance to the theme and the exclusion criteria removed meta analyses, systematic reviews, articles not specific to the topic and published more than ten years ago. Several studies reported a positive correlation between reduced anatomical linear measurements of the mandible and low BMD. This demonstrates that dental imaging techniques play a key role in early detection of osteoporosis, leading to timely and appropriate diagnosis and treatment. However, further studies are needed to fully contemplate the feasibility of this as a diagnostic tool for osteoporosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
