Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by compromised bone strength and is considered to be a silent disease that entails significant social and economic burdens. This disease causes reduction in weight and bone fractures. Dual X-ray Absoptiometry i. e. DXA is the commonly used technique to determine Bone Mineral Density. The high cost and limited availability of DXA necessitates looking for alternative diagnostic technique. Orthopantogram can be use for prediction of Osteoporosis. The person suffering with the osteoporosis has mandible with low mineral content. So Bone Mineral Density ( BMD ) of the mandible bone is related with osteoporosis that is low skeletal BMD. To predict osteoporosis the cortical width of the lower border of the mandible is to be measure. In this paper preprocessing work for measurement of cortical width for osteoporosis determination is discuss. Then the person can be classified as having normal bone mineral density, osteoporosis or osteopenia .
