TI  - The Investigation of Osteoporotic Changes in Patients withPrimary Hyperparathyroidism with RadiomorphometricIndices Determined on Panoramic Radiography
AB  - Objective: The aim of this study was to compare os teoporotic changes of jaw bones between normal population and pa tients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) by using panoramicradiomorphometric analyses. Material and Methods: Panoramic ra diographs of 48 healthy individuals and 48 patients with pHPT wereevaluated. The values of the panoramic mandibular index (PMI),mental index (MI) mandibular cortical width (MCW), amount of alve olar bone resorption (AABR) were measured. Mandibular corticalindex (MCI) was recorded on panoramic radiographs according toC1, C2 and C3 classes with increased trabecular structure of the cor tical bone. In panoramic radiographs, carotid artery calcification wasexamined. Results: There was no statistically significant differencebetween the patient group and the control group for PMI, MI, MCWand AABR values from radiomorphometric measurements. Whilethere was a significant difference between categories C1 and C3 ofMCI values between patient and control group; there was no signifi cant difference for category C2 values. Unilateral carotid artery cal cification was observed on panoramic radiography of 5 individualsin the patient group. Conclusion: Osteoporotic changes were not ob served in patients with pHPT as compared with control group by usingradiomorphometric analysis, while mandibular cortical destructionwas observed in pHPT patient group.
