When evaluating the measured bone loss, a higher mean amount of bone loss was observed in the maxilla as compared with the mandible; however, this was not statistically significant [1, 41].
DXR has been shown to measure bone loss in early arthritides and RA [ 11].
In other words, the classical study supporting the 'benefits' of nutritional alkalinisation for bone health was not confirmed by a long-term clinical trial, not only measuring bone remodelling, but also bone loss following the menopause, at two skeletal sites of extreme importance in the risk of osteoporotic fractures – spine and proximal femur.
The assessment of fracture risk often relies primarily on measuring bone mineral density, thereby accounting for only a single pathology: the loss of bone mass.
This study compares the mandibular anterior alveolar housing in individuals with low, average, and high mandibular plane angles before orthodontic treatment and measures alveolar bone loss and root resorption after orthodontic treatment.
In the current study, we measured a bone loss of 0.5 mm in both study arms in the period between the implant placement and the baseline radiographs.
Gyftopoulous et al. found 3DCT was more accurate than 2DCT and MRI (percent error 3DCT 2.17-3.52.17-3.5%2.22-17.1 %, MRI 2.06-5.942.06-5.94%gh the difference was not significant and they concluded that MRI could accurately measure glenoid bone loss [ 48].
Periodontal destruction was assessed by measuring the alveolar bone loss.
Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the forearm were taken to monitor bone regeneration, measure the bone loss and adjust the rate of lengthening.
Considering that RBL and relRBL had similar intra - and inter-examiner reliability, these results added to the notion that the indirect registration technique (relRBL) appeared to be a more reliable measure of bone loss than the direct registration technique (RBL).
