Changes in mandibular radiomorphometric indices in DEN group comparing patients with osteopenia (T-score between − 1 and − 2.5) and osteoporosis (T-score lower than − 2.5). A. MCW at T0 and T1 in Osteopenia and Osteoporosis groups. B. PMI at T0 and T1 in Osteopenia and Osteoporosis groups. Osteopenia and Osteoporosis at T0 versus T1: Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Osteopenia versus Osteoporosis at T0 versus T1: Mann-Whitney U test. * p < 0.05
