Osteoporosis a Contraindication for Dental Implants?
Last Updated: Oct 15, 2007
Anon asks:
I have an elderly patient about 65 years old with osteoporosis. She is otherwise healthy. Any reason why I should not place dental implants in this patient? She has not had any dental problems in the past after extractions and seems to heal up just fine. Do I need to consult with her primary care provider?
