To my knowledge, this is the first report to investigate bone histomorphometric indices of the human mandible, although there have been some studies on the association between dental radiography measures and skeletal bone mineral density (BMD). The authors conclude that there is no association between systemic osteoporosis and parameters of mandibular bone quality; however, I have several concerns about the study protocol and discussion:
