What is Bone Density in Human Dentate and Edentulous Mandibles Using Computed Tomography about?
Mandibular bone density, vertebral density and resorption of the edentulous ridge were correlated in a group of 17 partially edentulous subjects.Bone density was quantified by Quantitative Computerized Tomography; resorption was evaluated on panoramic radiographs. Mean bone density in dentate areas was significantly higher than that in edentulous areas; mandibular bone density was not found to relate significantly to vertebral bone density, nor to ridge resorption. In programming osseointegrated implants in the partially edentulous mandible, CT may give a more accurate evaluation of trabecular bone. However, further studies are necessary to clarify its clinical utility.
