Site-Specific Associations Between CBCT-Derived Gray Value and Fractal Dimension and DEXA T-Scores in Postmenopausal Women: A Cross-Sectional Analytical Study.

Clinical and experimental dental research · Saeidi G, Maleki MM, Shokri A, Tapak L · 2026-10-01

Researchers examined whether measurements from routine dental CBCT scans (gray value and fractal dimension) correlate with bone density assessed by DEXA in postmenopausal women, finding site-specific associations but limited discriminatory value for identifying osteoporosis categories.
