Assessment of the head condyle resorption connected by osteocalsin level in patient osteoporosis and osteopenia

Backgrounds: Osteopososis is a systemic disease in which a decline in bone quality and increased levels osteocalsin as a detector of osteoporosis. Examination for these abnormalities does with BMD examination. Panoramic radiography is one tool to detect this disease. Head of condyle is a sign that examined the panoramic radiography. The aim of this study was to assess the resorption of the head condyle associated with osteocalsin levels and BMD patients with suspected osteoporosis.

Materials and methods: This study using 18 radiographs, 14 were positive for osteoporosis and osteopenia and 4 normal. The data collected was analyzed for the regression equation with a linear regression and correlation analysis.

Result: The results of the studies have shown, the head of kodilus experienced resobsi faster than normal, and osteocalsin effect on resorption that occurs in the head of the condyle view of the value of r = 1.

Conclusion: Panoramic radiography can be used to assess bone disorder due to systemic disease. This study proves that positive correlation between resorbsi condyle head and osteocalsin levels.
