Details and patient eligibility

About

In the last decade, there has been a shift towards Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT - regarding its low-dose radiation profile) in Dentistry/Implantology fields because it presents a more conclusive insight in the bone micro-architecture and cortical/trabecular bone structures assessment due to 3D acquisition higher resolution. Despite convergent and interesting preliminary results, most CBCT studies failed in highlighting a potential new osteoporosis diagnostic tool. TOMOSTEOp study aims to explore inter-relation between CBCT parameters and DXA Gold-Standard parameters in order to build resolutive explicative model of bone mineral density and test CBCT diagnostic performances.

In the last decade, there has been a shift towards Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT - regarding its low-dose radiation profile) in Dentistry/Implantology fields because it presents a more conclusive insight in the bone micro-architecture and cortical/trabecular bone structures assessment due to 3D acquisition higher resolution. Despite convergent and interesting preliminary results, most CBCT studies failed in highlighting a potential new osteoporosis diagnostic tool. TOMOSTEO aims to explore inter-relation between CBCT parameters and DXA Gold-Standard parameters in order to build resolutive explicative model of bone mineral density and test CBCT diagnostic performances.

TOMOSTEOp study will analyze CBCT and DXA acquisitions of >65 years old post-menopausal women who performed contemporaneously (ie. maximum 3months delay) these 2 exams. Radiomorphometric (I/S/CTMI/CTI(S)/CTI(I)), Gray Values (cortical and trabecular) and Fractal Dimension Indexes will be measured on the whole mandibular arch, as well as cortical/trabecular thicknesses. Correlations and odds-ratio will be calculated regarding DXA parameters and T-scores (-2,5DS). Differences between osteopenic, osteoporotic and healthy women will be explored.
