Abstract :Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of osteoporosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OP); using panoramic mandibular index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PMI); and mandibular cortical index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MCI); in panoramic radiographic and cone-beam computed tomographic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CBCT); images and to demonstrate any advantages of CBCT versus panoramic imaging in those indexes. Materials & Methods: 36 female patients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18 with osteoporosis and 18 with no systemic disease); who had panoramic radiographic and CBCT indication due to dental problems were involved in the study. PMI and MCI are evaluated on both panoramic and CBCT images. Differences between patient groups are analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis test, and differences between imaging techniques are analyzed by impaired t-tests ignoring patient groups in confidence interval 95%. Results: In CBCT images, PMIs were significantly lower in patients with osteoporosis than in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.004);, and there was no significant difference between the patient and control group in panoramic images insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.085);. In both imaging techniques, MCIs were significantly higher in the osteoporosis group than in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.000);. CBCT showed a significant advantage on PMI to panoramic images insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.05);. Conclusion: Systemic diseases affect bone tissue in different levels, and to evaluate these effects, cortical and trabecular bone parts must be investigated separately, and findings must be combined with patients’ clinical symptoms. CBCT has advantages in PMI evaluations to panoramic radiography.
