Use of Prilosec: Can This Cause Bone Loss with Implants?
Last Updated: May 23, 2010
Dr. RH asks:
I recently have seen two patients who have functioned well with dental implants for over 10 years with sudden onset bone loss. The only change seems to be the use of Prilosec for GERD. Any correlation? Is anybody aware of any bone loss observed with the use of Prilosec?
