For so long, osteoporosis and dental implants seemed like two totally incompatible terms. Results from a new study, however, offer new insight into that belief. The said study, conducted by researchers from the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, has suggested that dental implants may offer the best route to take for patients with osteoporosis who are suffering from tooth loss. Surveying a total of 237 osteoporotic women on how they view their quality of life after undergoing treatment to replace missing teeth, the researchers found that those with dental implants reported a higher overall satisfaction with their lives. Other dental replacement solutions like fixed dentures came in second, followed by false teeth, and no restoration work at all in the very last position.
