Received on: July 2022 Revised on: August 2023 Accepted on: August 2023 Hypertension is a systemic condition characterized by an increase in blood pressure beyond the normal limit of 120/80 mmHg.
JNC Vi states that hypertension can be defined as a condition in which an individual has blood pressure Ou140 mmHg .
and/or Ou90 mmHg .
1,2,3,4 The prevalence of hypertension in the Indonesian population aged Ou18 years is known to be relatively high, ranging from 26.
5% to 31.
with hypertensive individuals who are aware of their condition comprising 7.
7% to 9.
5%, and those who take hypertension medication being only 2.
The data from Riskesdas 2018 showed that the highest incidence of hypertension was found in individuals aged Ou18 years, and it was predominantly observed in South Kalimantan Province, with a prevalence of 44.
This condition is supported by a study conducted by Unja et al.
2018, which stated that the incidence of hypertension in South Kalimantan Province in the year 2018 was recorded at 20,020 cases.
Hypertension experienced by an individual is known to affect bone mineral density (BMD) through the regulation of blood pressure and calcium metabolism.
Hypertension can lead to an imbalance in calcium metabolism, subsequently causing calcium leakage from bones.
This alteration then results in secondary hyperparathyroidism, characterized by an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH).
This increase will subsequently lead to a decrease in BMD and bone quality.
7 The increased bone resorption is known to be triggered by the stimulation of osteoclast formation.
This effect is related to the activity of 2-adrenergic receptors present in osteoblastic and osteoclastic The leakage of calcium from bones will ultimately be excreted by the kidneys in the form of Patients with hypertension will certainly not be exempted from the use of antihypertensive drugs.
The class of antihypertensive drugs is known to include the following groups: beta blocker, angiotensin II receptor blocker, angiostensin converting enzym inhibitor, diuretic, and calcium channel blocker.
Calcium channel blockers are the main class of antihypertensive drugs, and one of the frequently used medications is amlodipine.
Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, functioning as a calcium ion antagonist.
Hypertensive antihypertensive medication such as amlodipine will affect their calcium levels, which subsequently impacts their bone condition and becomes a risk factor for bone fractures.
10 Amlodipine can also decrease bone quality by reducing the production of steroid hormones, thus reducing bone formation and decreasing the volume of trabecular and cortical bone in the mandible.

, indicating that there is no significant difference.
These findings are consistent with the study by Azhari et al.
, which also demonstrated no significant difference in mandibular cortex width values between males and 15 The findings of this study are consistent with the research conducted by Satria et al.
, which also demonstrated a decrease in mandibular cortical thickness in hypertensive patients consuming amlodipine.
This can be attributed to the mechanism of amlodipine, which reduces the influx of calcium ions into myocardial cells and blood vessels, subsequently leading to an increase in cytokines and VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Facto.
This increase further results in the elevation of osteoclasts, leading to a reduction in mandibular cortical thickness.
Amlodipine also modifies L-type channels and reduces the amount of calcium ions inside the cells, leading to an impact on contractility in muscle cells and the release of enzymes and L-type calcium channels are found in osteoblasts as calcium channel blockers (CCB.
are known to influence the process of cell

Amlodipine is known as a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker with antihypertensive effects that work by inhibiting the entry or absorption of calcium when calcium enters the Ltype calcium channel membranes.
This activity concentration and stimulates smooth muscle in peripheral and coronary arteries, while inhibiting calcium absorption, which further affects bone quality and density.
The research results in Table 2 indicate that there are differences in PMI measurements between male and female patients.
These findings are consistent with the study conducted by Gunawan et al.
, which states that the reduction in hypertensive patients is higher than in male This condition may be attributed to the loss of estrogen hormone, which can contribute to the rate of decrease in mandibular cortical 17,18 The development and bone density in women are also known to be greatly influenced by estrogen hormone, and during menopause, when the ovaries stop producing estrogen, it leads to an increase in bone loss.
10,19,20 Women usually have a higher level of compliance in taking amlodipine medication compared to men.
This is what leads to a decrease in bone density.
The difference in the rate of mandibular cortical thickness reduction is also known to be influenced by the growth process.
The peak bone growth and development in males are known to be higher than in females, characterized by a larger peak growth in males compared to females, which leads to a slower decrease in mandibular cortical thickness in male patients.
10,19,20
The research results in Table 3 indicate that the group with age Ou 65 years has the lowest average mandibular cortex value compared to other groups, with a value of 0.
22 A 0.
These findings are consistent with the study by Naik A et al.
, which states that mandibular cortical thickness values tend to increase with age.

which states that mandibular cortical thickness is Jurnal Radiologi Dentomaksilofasial Indonesia 2023.

strongly correlated with age.
23 This condition can occur because a decrease in bone density is known to begin around the age of 35.
The reduction in mandibular cortical density typically increases further during menopause due to a decrease in estrogen hormone levels.
The first phase of mandibular cortical density reduction occurs at the age of 30-35 years when the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is balanced and decreases further at the age of 35-45 years, known as the second The third phase occurs at the age of 45-55 years, characterized by increased bone fragility and a higher risk of fractures, leading to the fourth phase above the age of 55 years, where there is a decrease in osteoblast activity while osteoclasts remain active.
24 This research is also supported by the study conducted by Sari et al.
, which states that there are differences in the average mandibular cortical thickness values in postmenopausal women using PMI in panoramic radiographs.
The results of the conducted research indicate that 26 individuals were detected to experience a decrease in mandibular cortical The findings of the study demonstrate that mandibular cortical measurements using the panoramic mandibular index are capable of identifying the mandibular bone mineral density in 26 The results of this research are consistent with the study conducted by Satria et al.
which showed a significant relationship between patients with hypertension and a decrease in mandibular cortical density.
Hypertension is known to be associated with high levels of sodium chloride (NaC.
in the body.
This condition is caused by hypertension disrupting calcium absorption and increasing calcium excretion in the urine .
In conditions of high NaCl levels, calcium in the blood cannot be filtered in the kidneys to be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream in the proximal distal tubules and Henle's loop, so it has to be excreted.
Both ions have the same binding site, which is the claudin-2 protein in the proximal tubules of the kidney, causing them to compete for binding.
7 The results of this research are also supported by the study conducted by Hussein et al.
, which states that there is a relationship between hypertension and the use of medication with a decrease in mandibular cortical density, which can also be influenced by other factors such as age and physical activity.
The results of the study on the mandibular cortex width of the right and left sides in male and female patients showed differences, although not statistically significant.
Due to the small number of research samples, there is no significant difference in the value of the difference between male and This study has been done intra-observer These differences are attributed to different bone remodeling activities, influenced by genetic conditions, muscle mass, and variations in sex hormones secreted in males and females.
Genetic factors, in the form of differences in gene expression, play a role in influencing the functions of bone cells, such as osteoclasts and osteoblasts, which contribute to the variation in bone density between males and females.
20 The results of this study are supported by the research conducted by Azhari et al.
in 2019, which stated that there were relatively small differences in the average length of the right and left mandibles between males and CONCLUSION The research results indicate that the measurements using PMI in females have higher average of mandibular cortical density with an average mandibular cortex value of 0.
26 A 0.
while the measurements based on age showed the lowest mandibular cortical thickness value in the age group Ou 65 years with an average value of 0.
A 0.
The results of cortical mandibular thickness measurements in male and female hypertensive patients consuming amlodipine showed no significant difference.
