Early Detection of Osteoporosis on Menopausal Women Using Panoramic Radiograph
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to early detect osteoporosis on menopausal women.
Methods:
This study was an analitic observational study and used secondary data from 30 patients. The subjects were panoramic radiographs of female patients aged 45-55 years in Dental Hospital, Hasanuddin University. The data was observed and performed using Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI) which categorized as C1, C2 and C3.
Results:
The results showed that the distribution of osteoporosis on menopausal women was found to be C1 (normal cortex, cortical endosteal edge is parallel and clear on both sides) 13.3%, C2 (mild to moderate abrasive cortex, the endosteal edge represents a semilunar defect) 43.3%, C3 (severe abrasion cortex: the cortical layer forms an endosteal cortical residue and clearly porous) 43,3%.
Conclusions: Panoramic radiograph can be one option to detect early occurrence of osteoporosis on menopausal women.
