Assessment of density and mandible bone structure in patients with generic osteoporosis symptoms.

In a group of 130 patients with diagnosed osteoporosis and in 110 patients in control group radiovisiographic test of mandible bone structure had been carried out. Digital images analysis was carried out using Software Radiograph Workshop. It proved that in the group of patients with osteoporosis process in comparison with the control group there has been observed a significant deterioration of mandible bone density, defined as reduced bone mineral contents (BMC), reduced bone mineral density (BMC), and reduced mandible bone density (BD). Bone structure analysis showed in the control group of the treated patients with osteoporosis lower than in the control group quantity of structure of trabecular number (STN), deterioration of bone trabecular density expressed in % of area and greater structure of trabecular width than that in healthy patients.
