The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in assessment of bone density. The study population contains men and women above the age of 60 years, eligible for Bone Density Testing in accordance with their health insurance, who underwent a Dental CBCT recommended by their Dental Practitioner. Any patient (eligible for bone density screening by age criteria) undergoing CBCT of either one of the jaws (or both) due to dental reasons, will be sent to a bone mineral density DEXA Scan, and for blood testing for PTH, Phosphor, Calcium ,Vitamin D and Creatinine levels.
Density measurements will be done in specific sites on the CBCT's of the jaws. These measurements will be correlated with the blood tests and DEXA scan results.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role of Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomography in assessment of bone density.
The study population contains men and women above the age of 60 years, eligible for Bone Density Testing in accordance with their health insurance, who underwent a Dental CBCT recommended by their Dental Practitioner. Any patient (eligible for bone density screening by age criteria) undergoing CBCT of either one of the jaws (or both) due to dental reasons, will be sent to dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) Scan, and for blood testing for parathormone (PTH), Phosphor, Calcium ,Vitamin D and Creatinine levels.
The investigators estimate thousands of Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomographies are being ordered every year, due to dental needs in Israel. In this preliminary prospective pilot study the investigators will evaluate 50 subjects who underwent both Dental CBCT and DEXA scan as a preliminary testing.
Density measurements will be done in specific sites on the CBCT's of the jaws. These measurements will be correlated with the blood tests and DEXA scan results.
The outcomes of this study are:
