The purpose of the present research is to determine the maxillary and mandible bone density employing Hounsfield Units coming from Cone Beam TC Scans were taken in “Explora Radiological Center”. This study was descriptive, retrospective, crosssectional, the design was observational non-experimental applying a qualitative approach, the sampling was probabilistic, the sample was chosen according to the research’s inclusion and exclusion criteria and was composed by 233 TC Scans. The evaluation was made upon a data collection sheet based on Mitch’s Bone Density Classification; thus, measurements were taken in teethless oral locations (maxillary front; maxillary rear; mandible front; mandible rear). As result, it was noticed that the most frequent bone density values in the maxillary front were between 850 – 1250 HU (D2: dense or porous cortical bone and fine trabeculae); in the maxillary rear were between 150 – 350 HU (D4: fine low density trabeculae and no dense crest bone); in the mandible front were between 850 . 1250 HU (D2: dense or porous cortical bone and fine trabeculae); and in the mandible rear were between 350 – 850 HU (D3: porous cortical bone finer near the crests and fine trabeculae inside the flange). Also, it was found that there were more teethless areas in women that men; in regard to age, teethless maxillary areas were more common amongst 30 to 59 years old adults, teethless mandible areas were more common amongst adults older than 60 years old. In conclusion, front maxillary and mandible areas have higher densities compared to rear areas. Likewise, the statistical analysis showed that there is a relation between sex and bone density in front mandible TC Scans, and between age and bone density in front maxillary and rear mandible areas.
