Özet
Aim: The aim of this sudy is to investigate the effects of removable dental prostheses on mandibular bone density in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients. Methodology: The prospective study included 30 female patients aged 45–70 years who had been previously diagnosed with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The patients had no diseases affecting bone metabolism. The patients were divided into two groups: (i) patients who were using removable dental prostheses (n=15) and (ii) patients who were not using removable dental prostheses (n=15) (the control group). A whole-body dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan was performed to calculate the mandibular bone densities of the patients. Results: The use of removable mandibular prostheses did not cause a significant change in mandibular bone density. Conclusion: The fact that removable mandibular prostheses did not cause a significant change in mandibular bone density could be because the patients started using the removable prostheses long after they lost their teeth.
