Several studies have analyzed bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients based on linear measurements such as radiomorphometric indices measured with panoramic radiographs, although few studies have investigated bone trabeculation in children diagnosed with OI. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to analyze the dental panoramic indices in panoramic radiographs in the cortical and trabeculated bone of children with OI. Methods: Thus, 66 pediatric patients diagnosed with OI under antiresorptive treatment were compared with a sample of controls matched for sex and age. Using Image J software (version: 1.54d), three radiomorphometric indices were analyzed in orthopantomographies of the study and control groups, evaluating the influence of disease severity as well as the type of antiresorptive treatment administered. Results: Patients with OI had a higher presence of type C2 and C3 MCI (mandibular cortical index) than their matched controls (p &lt; 0.05), although no differences were found for the visual estimation of cortical width (SVE) and mandibular cortical width (MCW). Treatment with zoledronic acid was associated with a higher number of cases of type C1 MCI, in terms of sample description, while patients treated with a combination of pamidronate and zoledronic acid had a higher rate of type C1 and C2 MCI, with no statistical differences. Conclusions: In the overall sample, most patients showed a thin SVE index (59.1%), a C2 or C1 type MCI (46.2% and 42.4%) and an MCW of 2.9 mm. Differences in bone mineral density were also observed throughout growth and the different antiresorptive treatments. Zoledronic acid has been associated with a higher percentage of C1 and C3 ICM, and pamidronate alone or in combination is associated with a C1 and C2 MCI index.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14051764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]],"date-time":"2025-03-06T04:55:08Z","timestamp":1741236908000},"page":"1764","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Bone Changes During Growth in Patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6696-633X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Burgue\u00f1o-Torres","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Clinical Specialties Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5696-4454","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lara","family":"Garc\u00eda-Boedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Clinical Specialties Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8952-9653","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel Joaqu\u00edn","family":"de Nova-Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Clinical Specialties Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Complutense University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17021","DOI":"10.1038\/bdjopen.2017.21","article-title":"Craniofacial manifestations in osteogenesis imperfecta type III in South Africa","volume":"3","author":"Chetty","year":"2017","journal-title":"BDJ Open"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"314","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2006.10.003","article-title":"Osteogenesis Imperfecta","volume":"103","author":"Huber","year":"2007","journal-title":"Oral.
