Panoramic radiographs for detecting osteopenia: A pilot study
Clinics and Practice, 2017 Osteoporosis characterized by low bone mass/osteopenia can be identified using radiomorphometric indices in routine panoramic radiographs. This study estimates the prevalence of osteopenia in 50-80 years age group, using panoramic mandibular index (PMI),
