The MCI calculated by DPR and CBCT differed with regard to accuracy. Within the limitations of this study, the PR of CBCT with 25 mm slice thicknesses seems to be the most accurate among the examinations evaluated. Should the dentist be attentive, DPR and CBCT may be useful tools for the screening of low BMD in post-menopausal women, facilitating their timely referral for further assessment.
