CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DENTAL AND JAW SYSTEM STATE IN PERSONS WITH LOW MINERAL DENSITY BONE TISSUE

Keywords: maxillofacial system, age, sex, bone tissue, mineral density, optical density of bone tissue

Abstract

Introduction. Despite the fact that the process of osseointegration has been studied for many years, a number of issues concerning the specifics of dental implantation in the case of osteopathies of various genesis, ensuring good primary stability of the implant, further forecasting of dental implantation and prevention of postoperative complications remain unresolved.

The purpose. To study the state of bone tissue in people with defects of dentition against the background of osteopathy

Materials and methods. 148 patients with dentition defects of young and middle age were examined. All patients underwent densitometric studies of bone tissue to determine its mineral density. For the qualitative characterization of the cortical layer of the lower jaw, the mandibular-cortical index according to Klemetti E. and co-authors was used. The optical density of the bone tissue of the jaws was measured using Image Q software, developed in 2007 by the National Institutes of Health (Canada), which allows the analysis of any selected area of ​​the jawbone in conventional brightness units (units of brightness) in gradations of gray: from 0 to 256.

Results. According to the mandibular-cortical index, a domination of C2 bone tissue type was found in men vs. women (55.41 vs. 32.43%). At the same time, in women with osteopenia, the C3 bone tissue type was diagnosed in 60.81% compared to 33.78% of men with osteopenia. However, the results of the study established that in men aged 18–44, the average values ​​of the optical density of bone tissue probably did not differ from those in the comparison group (p>0.05) and at the same time, they were significantly lower: by 18.35% – in men of the older age group (р<0.05) and by 29.12% – among women of the older age group (р<0.001). Still, the optical density of bone tissue was characterized by lower values in women vs. men with osteopenia, and it tended to decrease with increasing age of the subjects, regardless of gender.

Conclusions. The conducted studies made it possible to conclude that the optical density of the bone tissue of the jaws in patients with osteopenia decreased with increasing age of the patients, but women had the lowest values in both age groups.
