In the literature, the terms "aseptic-ischemic osteonecrosis of the jaw" (AIOJ), 'bone marrow defects' (BMD), and "fatty-degenerative osteonecrosis of the jawbone" …

A clinical practice guideline from the American College of Physicians on treatment to prevent fractures in men and women with low bone density or osteoporosis includes six recommendations: two strong recommendations, based on high- or moderate-quality evidence, and four weak ones, based on low-quality evidence. [] The two strong …

The literature lacks enough research regarding the use of DXA for evaluation of BMD and osteoporosis of jaw bones. The use of DXA for jaw bones is associated with some shortcomings, including high cost, high radiation dose, low image quality, high distortion, difficulties in positioning the system for jaws, and long scanning time [12].

The use of jawbone density as a proxy marker could circumvent the need for lumbar bone measurements and we hypothesize that jaw BMD measurements, taken …

2. Methods. A narrative review using PubMed was conducted on ONJ and the medications that affect steroid levels. Search keywords were the following: steroid, bone, estrogen, testosterone, an aromatase inhibitor, selective estrogen receptor modulator, bone, osteonecrosis of the jaw, osteonecrosis of the bone, osteomyelitis, and mandible.

Aseptic bone necrosis, as found in AIOJ/BMD/FDOJ, has been reported as a manifestation of selected systemic diseases and also documented following operations, trauma, and immunosuppressive therapy at the site of BRONJ.77,78 The development of aseptic necrosis has been documented in the upper and lower jaw, particularly following …

In the present study, we tested the utility of the Bone Right ® method for evaluating jaw BMD at a crucial site within the alveolar bone, the first right mandibular premolar tooth, which is influenced by systemic bone metabolism and the local periodontal state. In the same patients, we then compared these measurements with DXA scans of …

Background Implant-supported dentures have become an essential means of restoring occlusal function after jaw reconstruction. Bone mineral density (BMD) may influence the success rate of implant denture restorations. This study aimed to explore whether the Hounsfield unit (HU) value can be used to monitor the changing trend of …

an effort to use jaw BMD for fracture prediction. Despitetheseefforts,theability topredictthe incidence of osteoporotic fractures based on jawbone measurements has not been accomplished [25–27]. This is possibly due to technical limitations with measuring jaw BMD. The use of advanced methods, such as DXA and

Becker muscular dystrophy affects the muscles of the hips, pelvic area, thighs, and shoulders, as well as the heart. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is one of nine types of muscular dystrophies, a group of genetic, degenerative diseases primarily affecting voluntary muscles. BMD belongs to a group of dystrophinopathies including Duchenne ...

BMD did not correlate with any of the biochemical indices but correlated with BMD at other sites. Vitamin D deficiency coexists with low BMD in our study group. Serum 25(OH)D needs to be ...

BMD is clinically used instead of bone density, which is difficult to measure using many types of X-ray imaging. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a …

Results. A significant correlation was found between the PI in the left (P = 0.001) and right (P = 0.004) mandible and the BMD of the left heel for the whole group.A pronounced correlation was found to exist for women > 70 years old. Based on a cut-off value of the PI, to differentiate between healthy individuals and those who required further analysis for …

Bone mineral density (BMD) of the jaws and femoral neck was measured with a DXA; bone mineral density was calculated at the anterior, premolar and molar regions …

Compared to the BMD measurements from the CYC_CBCT image, the BMD from the QCBCT showed increases of 38% MAD, 20% PSNR, 45% SSIM, 40% NCC, 80% SNU, and 84% Slope at the maxilla, and 39% MAD, 20% ...

To investigate the effectiveness of DE-CBCT at measuring the BMD of the jaw, patients who required dental interventions were enrolled in this clinical study. Because this was a pilot study, the sample size was 15. The inclusion criteria were: 1) age between 19 and 85 years; 2) general good health; 3) being scheduled for a dental intervention ...

jaw bone remain unknown. Few studies have looked at the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in India's general population, but none have looked at the link between vitamin D deficiency (osteoporosis) and postmenopausal women's jaw Bone Mineral Density (BMD). This is the first study of its sort in India to look at

Measurement and calculation of alveolar bone mineral density (al-BMD). To standardize the brightness and contrast among pictures taken on different days, an X-ray was taken in a healthy person, …

Abstract. Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess whether the systemic skeletal reduction of bone mineral density (BMD) that characterizes osteoporotic …

0.849). On the other hand, attempts to predict T value using GS at di erent jaw sites showed that GS values at posterior maxilla and anterior mandible were able to predict T value (P < 0.001, R square = 0.924). The CBCT GS values of BMD at di erent jaw bone regions are significantly related to the DXA T values in the presence of osteoporosis.

Objectives: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a well known side-effect of anti-resorptive drugs. Changes in bone density might potentially constitute the development of ONJ. This study aimed to investigate, to which degree bisphosphonates (bp) and denosumab (db) induce changes in bone density that can be …

Signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders may include: Pain or tenderness of your jaw. Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints. Aching pain in and around your ear. Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing. Aching facial pain. Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth. TMJ disorders can also cause a clicking ...

A bone mineral density (BMD) test evaluates your bone health. It measures how much calcium and other minerals your bones have. Healthcare providers use test results to …

Osteoporosis has been an enigma in terms of the administration of implant therapy. It has been implicated as a cause of implant failure as it directly affects the quality of the bone. The diagnosis of osteoporosis is mainly done by measuring skeletal bone mineral density (BMD). During implant therapy, the BMD of jaws can be evaluated on routine …

Introduction. Bone mineral density (BMD) is the amount of bone tissue in a certain volume of bone. 1 Assessment of jaw BMD may be considered useful, or even necessary, in many clinical situations such as oral and/or systemic diseases, implant planning, therapeutic evaluation and follow-up. 2 BMD varies throughout regions of the …

Correlation between BMD of the skeletal region and BMD of jaws is seen, and the implant success rate is dependent on the quality of bone in which it is to be placed. …

Many authors use the relationship between bone mineral density and alveolar bone loss as an oral sign of osteoporosis. Diagnosis of jaw osteoporosis is based on assessment of bone mineral content or bone mineral density (BMC/BMD) by means of special jaw bone scanners (dual X-ray absorptiometry [DXA], DPA) or conventional …

Bisphosphonates are usually the first choice for osteoporosis treatment. These include: Alendronate (Fosamax), a weekly pill. Risedronate (Actonel), a weekly or monthly pill. Ibandronate (Boniva), a monthly pill or quarterly intravenous (IV) infusion. Zoledronic acid (Reclast), an annual IV infusion.
