Research Supports Successful Dental Implant Surgery in Osteopenia Patient
Patients who take bisphosphonates (Bfs) for bone conditions may experience osteonecrosis, or bone tissue death, as a side effect of those medications and potentially impact the long-term survival rates of their dental implants.
However, clinicians at the Bauru School of Dentistry and State University of Maringá in Brazil successfully treated a patient with low bone mass, also known as osteopenia, after a thorough review of the literature.
