Using absorptiometry, the bone calcium mass (BCM) at two different sites of the radius was measured in 12 male patients referred for vestibuloplasty of the mandible. The most distal site contained both cortical and cancellous bone while the other site contained cortical bone only. The BCM values were compared with those for normal patients of the same age. The patients with mandibular atrophy all had less bone in the radius than their age-matched controls (p less than 0.01). This is indicative of a systemic factor or factors operating both in the mandible and in the radius. The examination prior to oral surgery should therefore include an evaluation for diseases causing general bone loss.
采用骨密度测定法，对12名因下颌骨前庭成形术前来就诊的男性患者桡骨两个不同部位的骨钙质量（BCM）进行了测量。最远端的部位同时包含皮质骨和松质骨，而另一个部位仅包含皮质骨。将这些BCM值与同龄正常患者的值进行了比较。下颌萎缩患者桡骨中的骨量均低于年龄匹配的对照组（p<0.01）。这表明存在一个或多个在颌骨和桡骨中均起作用的全身因素。因此，口腔手术前的检查应包括对导致全身性骨质流失的疾病的评估。
