Comparative study of mandibular cortical index in orthopantomogram and bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae in dual energy x-ray absorptiometry in postmenopausal females in North India.

Osteoporosis is a bone disorder which results in low bone mineral content leading to recurrent fractures commonly seen in females after menopause. Few studies have proposed the use of orthopantomogram as a diagnostic marker for osteoporosis as it is simple, quick, easy, inexpensive, non-invasive and...
