Journal Title: Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Aim: Evaluation and comparison of alveolar bone loss of maxilla and mandible in completely edentulous patients on digital panoramic radiographs. Methods: Alveolar bone loss was evaluated on digital panoramic radiograph. In maxilla, alveolar bone height was evaluated by a horizontal line joining both inferior margins of the infraorbital margin (Lz) was drawn. The midline was determined by vertical line joining the Lz to the nasal septum. Another vertical line joining from premolar region and molar region represented vertical distances from line Lz to the alveolar crest. In the mandible, a line was drawn tangential to the most inferior points at angle of mandible and the lower border of the mandible. The measurement of the midline to alveolar crest, for premolar and molar region the line vertically drawn at the mental foramen region for premolar region and another vertical line drawn from the molar region to alveolar crest.
