We hypothesized that the criterion of \u201cdecreasing cortical thickness\u201d, may have an influence on the hard palate. Therefore, we investigated whether thickness of the hard palate (HPT) may serve as an indicator of osteoporosis for patients imaged for other reasons.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Patients with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and CT were identified by a radiology information system (RIS)-based, full-text search.

The measurements showed that HPT correlated with age and bone density. The mean HPT was 2.4 mm in normal, 0.9 mm in osteopenia, 0.8 mm in osteoporosis and 5.3 mm in osteopetrosis case. No bone \u201chealthy\u201d patient fell below 1 mm. The relationship between bone density and HPT has not been described previously. HPT was highest in the bone-healthy group and decreased with age, osteopenia, and osteoporosis. Osteopetrosis, as a disease with increased bone density showed an increase in HPT.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>HPT correlates with bone disease. We propose a new criterion for assessment on CT and digital volume tomography (DVT) or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). A threshold of 1.0 mm when applying a simple measurement of HPT on Head CT or DVT may serve as an indicator for potential osteopenia or osteoporosis as incidental finding without extra imaging further diagnosis and treatment leading to early notice of Osteoporosis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00117-024-01318-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]],"date-time":"2024-06-06T10:03:15Z","timestamp":1717668195000},"page":"109-115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Thickness of the hard palate","H\u00f6hendurchmesser des Palatum durum"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"64","author":[{"given":"Daniela","family":"Kildal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Riether","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tilmann","family":"Blasenbrey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dritan","family":"Turhani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Antoch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meinrad","family":"Beer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margrit-Ann","family":"Geibel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"1318_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1016\/S0009-9260(60)80012-8","volume":"11","author":"E Barnett","year":"1960","unstructured":"Barnett\u00a0E, Nordin\u00a0BEC (1960) The radiological diagnosis of osteoporosis: a\u00a0new approach.
