CORCUERA FLORES, J.R.; MANSO PLATERO, F.J.; MARTINEZ MAESTRE, M.A. e MACHUCA PORTILLO, G.. Actualization in early detection of osteoporosis. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.5, pp.251-261. ISSN 2340-3152.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease, with widespread prevalence especially in postmenopausal women. Orthopantomography (OPMG) is a widely used diagnosis technique in dental practice. The objective of this study is to make a systematic review of studies in which, using a series of indices as Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI), Mental Index (MI), Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI), Antegonial Index (AI), Gonial Index (GI) measured on panoramic radiographs are useful for detecting early osteoporosis. The results reported in different studies support the possibility that OPMG could be an effective tool to detect early Osteoporosis and refer patients to a specialist to treat their disease.
