An Updated Radio-Morphometric Index to Evaluate the Quality of Bone in Panoramic Dental Radiographs

Esfahani AJ

The present study was carried out to assess the possible changes in mandibular bone viscosity according to age and gender through dental panoramic radiographs (visage). More specifically, the region of the mandibular oblique line. We presume that WI refers to an aspect of bone mineral viscosity. First, the sharp discrepancy of the mandibular oblique line may signify the loss of mandibular bone mass. And second, it showed to vary significantly with gender and age, but with advanced intensity with age.
