title: The loss of alveolar processus, mandible density and bone tissue structure in reference to the computerized analysis of intraoral radiography.
abstract: 98 patients treated in the Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medical University and Institute of Rural Medicine in Lublin had radiovisiographically tested premolar teeth area on the left side. Reviewing radiovisiographical picture, there were defined bone mineral density and mandible bone structure and degree of loss of alveolar processus. It was concluded that the degree of loss of alveolar processus is significantly correlated with the researched patients' age, and is inversely correlated with mineral density and equivalent of mandible bone mineral contents. The achieved results prove that demineralisation changes can significantly influence teeth loss.
