Abstract
Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two different bisphosphonate types on bone using dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs) and to compare these findings with a healthy cohort.
Study design: Panoramic dental radiographs of bisphosphonate users (30) and healthy individuals (30) were retrospectively evaluated for the study. Regarding FA, standardized 50 × 50 pixel regions of interest (ROI) were identified for each patient. Moreover, the assessment encompassed Mandibular Cortical Width (MCW), Panoramic Mandibular Index (PMI), and Mandibular Cortical Index (MCI). A significance level of p < 0.05 was deemed to be statistically significant.
Results: The case group showed significantly higher MCW and PMI measurements than the control group (p < 0.001). Right and left MCI measurements differed depending on the type of drug used (p = 0.008 and p = 0.019, respectively). No discernible correlation was found between the time elapsed since the last dose and any measurement values (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed that bisphosphonate type and duration of drug use have a significant effect on changes in cortical bone structure. The persistence of these effects, unaffected by the time since the previous dose, suggests that bisphosphonates have a long-lasting effect on bone.

As the official English-language journal of the Japanese Society for Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology and the Asian Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral Radiology is intended to be a forum for international collaboration in head and neck diagnostic imaging and all related fields. Oral Radiology features cutting-edge research papers, review articles, case reports, and technical notes from both the clinical and experimental fields. As membership in the Society is not a prerequisite, contributions are welcome from researchers and clinicians worldwide.
