Genetic and epidemiologic assessment of mandibular cortical indices and bone mineral density in peripubertal children: the Generation R study
This study demonstrates that mandibular indices measured from panoramic radiographs can help clinicians identify pediatric patients who may have reduced bone mineral density. Both traits share a shared genetic and the association is not due to confounding factors. These findings highlight the potential of panoramic radiography as a valuable tool in assessing pediatric skeletal health.
