Abstract
This radiological study was designed to compare atrophic alveolar bone of maxilla among female patient in postmenopausal age with CBCT. Patients were divided in three groups considering T–score of osteodensitometric analysis. All patients were completely edentulous in maxilla and had their maxillofacial area scanned with CBCT. The results of the study indicated that osteoporosis group had a higher alveolar bone in maxilla, but least bone density. This study suggests that it CBCT measurements correlate with osteodensitometric analysis data.
