Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study was to see the improvement of mandibular bone mass (MABM) in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients treated with bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid).

Materials and Methods

A total of 150 postmenopausal osteoporotic patients were divided into two groups under the condition of treated and non-treated. All patients had been evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, radiovesiography.

Result

Pixel intensity value of mandibular alveolar bone was significantly different between osteoporosis and treated osteoporosis group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

There are significant improvements of MABM in postmenopausal osteoporotic patient treated with zoledronic acid.
