Document Language : English 
Abstract : Recent studies suggest that mandibular cortical width on dental panoramic radiographs may be useful screening tool for low skeletal bone mineral density (BMD). Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mandibular cortical thickness in Egypti.an dcntates with different ages and sexes using panoramic radiograph. M. &M.: One hundred and twenty adult patients, sixty females and sixty males with age ranging from twenty to sixty were selected from outpatient dental clinic of Ain-Shams University. By using panoramic radiograph the mandibular cortical thickness was measured bilaterally on each panoramic radiograph at the site of mental foramen. The radiographic analysis was done manually and digitally. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in cortical width regarding male groups bctween different age groups (P < 0.05) the same result was shown between different age group regarding female groups. While there was highly significant difference between different age group of males versus females (p < 0.001), also there was significant inverse correlation between different agcs versus cortical width among both males and females. Conclusion: Cortical thickness of the mandible at the mental region has an inverse correlation with different ages and sexes.
