Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Density measurements will be done in specific sites on the CBCT's of the jaws. These measurements will be correlated with the blood tests and DEXA scan results.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study population contains men and women above the age of 60 years, eligible for Bone Density Testing in accordance with their health insurance, who underwent a Dental CBCT recommended by their Dental Practitioner. Any patient (eligible for bone density screening by age criteria) undergoing CBCT of either one of the jaws (or both) due to dental reasons, will be sent to dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) Scan, and for blood testing for parathormone (PTH), Phosphor, Calcium ,Vitamin D and Creatinine levels.
The investigators estimate thousands of Dental Cone Beam Computed Tomographies are being ordered every year, due to dental needs in Israel. In this preliminary prospective pilot study the investigators will evaluate 50 subjects who underwent both Dental CBCT and DEXA scan as a preliminary testing.
Density measurements will be done in specific sites on the CBCT's of the jaws. These measurements will be correlated with the blood tests and DEXA scan results.
The outcomes of this study are:
1. Bone density measurement on Dental CBCT can be used for diagnosis of low bone mass conditions.
2. There is an association between bone density DEXA results, blood tests for Calcium, Phosphor, PTH and Vitamin D and Bone density measurements on Dental CBCTs.
