Abstract
Introduction:
This study evaluated BMD using radiomorphometric indices from conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of the mandible, comparing them with dualenergy Xray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans of the spine.
Results:
The study emphasizes the robustness of DEXAderived T scores for assessing bone health and guiding treatment in postmenopausal women.
