Increased systemic bone loss may be a risk factor for tooth loss by contributing to the resorption of tooth-supporting alveolar bone. Concurrent longitudinal associations between tooth loss and bone loss at the whole body, femoral neck, and spine were examined in 189 healthy, white, dentate, post...
The epidemiology of tooth loss due to trauma is only sparsely examined. In a longitudinal study from Copenhagen it was found that 1 out of 467 examined children aged 9-17 years showed tooth loss due to trauma (Andreasen & Rawn 1972). In a prospective study covering 75.000 children aged 7-...

Tooth Loss and Periodontitis in Older Individuals: Results From the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care BACKGROUND Due to the increasing number of older people, there is a need for studies focused on this population. The aims of the present study are to asses... S Renvert,RE Persson,...
Loss of bone mineral has no clinical effect itself, unless a fracture occurs. Common sites of fracture due to osteo-porosis include the spine (Fig. 5.8), wrist, hip or pelvis after minortrauma, but almost any bone can be affected.Vertebral fracturescan manifest as loss of anterior height ...
damage to the mandible can tear this artery. Because of its position, it can be hard to see damage and stop bleeding into the surrounding tissues. This couldlead to death—though it's more likely to causetooth damage or lossandnerve damage, which may lead to loss of sensation or function...
Osteoporosis-prone patients who are prescribedPotassium Chloride(Slow K) might consider switching toPotassium Citratefor its more favorable effect on bone mineral density. Vitamin B5(pantothenic acid) reduces bone loss when due to elevated phosphorus. For the same reason, it can be helpful for patien...
In cases where Root Canal Failures result in severe bone loss, not only may the root canal leave you sick with infection, but the bone damage may be impossible
to- nano hierarchical structure is also essential. Actually, a large body of research has been devoted in the past years to study the effect that the pore size, porosity and pore interconnectivity of the scaffolds has on bone regeneration [53,54]. This is due to the relevance that such ...
Objectives: To evaluate oral health in postmenopausal women and verify whether there is a correlation between tooth loss according to index of decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and bone mineral density (BMD). Study Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 100 womens. The DMFT and ...
