Abstract
|
|

Introduction: Estrogen hormone deficiency in postmenopausal women results in a reduction of bone density. In this condition, estrogen hormone level decreases and bone density is less than normal, known as osteopenia and osteoporosis. Decreasing bone density becomes a risk factor of alveolar bone resorption in edentulous ridge.
Objective: The aim of this study was to provide a description of alveolar bone resorption level in normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis postmenopausal women. This study provided information about bone density and postmenopausal condition in order to lower the failure of denture treatment.
Methods: Data was collected cross sectionally on June 2009, in East Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, on 312 postmenopausal women age 41-82 years old. Bone density was measured by Ultrasound Densitometer. Alveolar bone height in edentulous ridge was measured by mouth mirror size 3 on buccal side of the edentulous ridge.
Results: The result of this study showed that the resorption level of edentulous alveolar bone in women with normal bone density was lower than those of women with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Conclusion: Postmenopausal osteoporosis women had higher level of alveolar bone resorption compared to normal density and osteopenia.
