This study wanted to analyse the importance of sweeping and carpal radiographs for the evaluation of edentulous things, demonstrating the offering of different dental radiographic methods in the detection of victims with signs of osteoporosis. 30 mathematical panoramic and carpal radiographs of girls between 50 and 90 age old. In the sweeping radiographs, the thickness of the mandibular bark was measured (Mentual Index – MI and Goniac Index – GA), and the language rules of the lower cortex was judged (Klemetti classification). In the carpal radiographs, the width of the cortices of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th metacarpals was measured (Metacarpal Index – IMC – or Nordin Index). The average age of the things was 68.43 years. In the reasoning of the cortical thickness of the sweeping radiographs, the mean principles of the mental index (MI) and the gonial index (GI) refer to the age group of 50 to 59 age had values deliberate within the common range (? 3.1mm and ? 1.2mm , respectively). For the reasoning of cortex language rules, group C3 corresponded to most cases (43.33%). For carpal radiographs, the chief metacarpal index (IMC) values were in the direction of the younger group of same status (50-59 years). Finally, skilled was a positive equivalence between age and all-inclusive (MI, GA, IMC) and qualitative (Klemetti reasoning) assessment indications on panoramic and carpal radiographs.
