Abstract
Testosterone is a metabolic and vascular hormone with multiple physiological effects in various tissues of the body. The decrease in the serum level of testosterone triggers a reduction in bone mass, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, having an implication on the bone structure, with older adults being the ones who suffer from it most frequently 1,2. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the relationship between testosterone and mandibular alveolar bone in patients between 60 and 80 years old from the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University Federico Villarreal. As a methodology, an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out at the Dental Clinic of the National University Federico Villarreal, in the period from January to June 2023. The statistical test of the Pearson correlation coefficient was used. The level of significance was (p < 0.05). The results indicate that there is a positive correlation between the testosterone dosage and the mandibular panoramic index; 45% of the study population has testosterone values below 3.25, presenting a high risk of developing osteoporosis. It is concluded that there is a correlation between testosterone and the mandibular panoramic index and patients with low testosterone levels have a high risk of developing osteoporosis with alveolar bone involvement.
