Also, a significant difference could be seen in relation to gender (p‑value = 0.0315) for MCW with a concomitant decrease in values of MCW in females &gt;60 years of age. The vertical bone height of the edentulous mandible at 1st premolar (Hp) (p‑value = 0.0071) and 1st molar (Hm) (p‑value = 0.0044) regions were also found to be more in males than females. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Panoramic radiographic measurements provided valuable information for alveolar bone loss in terms of gender and age based on specific radiomorphometric parameters.http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/view/2618http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/download/2618/717718458
