骨质疏松症患者颌骨骨密度与全身骨密度相关性研究进展

随着人口老龄化的加剧，骨质疏松症日趋突出，使得骨密度的测量越来越受到人们的关注。颌骨作为全身骨骼的一部分,其骨矿量与骨质疏松症密切相关。本文就骨质疏松症患者颌骨骨密度与全身骨密度的相关研究进展及测量方法进行综述，由于颌骨骨密度的测量方法远未成熟,研究适合于颌骨测量的探测器及先进的软件开发迫在眉睫。

Research progress of the correlation of bone mineral density between the mandibular and systemic bone in osteoporosis patient

Due to the serious increasing of aging and osteoporosis, the measurement of bone mineral density has aroused great attention all over the world. As a part of the whole body skeleton, bone mass of the mandible is associated with systemic osteoporosis. This paper reviews literature on the possible correlation between systemic osteoporosis and mandibular bone mineral density, as well as the measuring method of bone mineral density. As the measurement method of jaw bone density is far from mature, it is urgent to study the detector and to develop advanced software.
