Abstract

Aim:  To determine the correlation between body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD), and residual ridge resorption (RRR) in postmenopausal females and the effect of osteoporosis on RRR.

Materials And Methods:  A study was conducted with 60 postmenopausal female individuals. BMI was calculated using the weight and height of the patient using a formula. BMD was assessed and graded using a T-score. RRR was determined using the Tallgren method.

Results: Most individuals showed a higher BMI (63.33%), which is in the overweight or obese category. BMD was lower in approximately 68.33% of patients, and RRR was significantly higher in about 60% of total patients.

Conclusion: The higher the BMI values, the lesser the BMD and the higher the RRR.
