Osteoporosis and Oral Health Impact explores the relationship between osteoporosis, a condition characterized by decreased bone density, and oral health issues such as tooth loss and periodontal disease. It covers how osteoporosis can affect the jawbone, leading to bone resorption and loss of dental support structures, thereby increasing the risk of tooth mobility and loss. The book emphasizes the importance of dental assessments and preventive measures for individuals with osteoporosis, including bone density monitoring and the use of dental implants and other restorative options. Suitable for dental practitioners and geriatric care professionals, it includes clinical guidelines, case studies, and strategies for integrating osteoporosis management with oral health care. Additionally, it explores the role of calcium and vitamin D supplementation and lifestyle modifications in maintaining bone and oral health.
