Osteoporosis and Oral health

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that makes the bones of our body weak and brittle. Severe cases of osteoporosis can cause bone fracture even with mild stress such as bending over or coughing. Osteoporosis is treated by prescribing medications that help in strengthening the bone.  Certain medications for osteoporosis can influence oral health and dental treatment decisions. Some medications used for osteoporosis can lead to a rare but serious condition known as osteonecrosis which causes serious damage to the jawbone. Osteonecrosis can occur spontaneously after a dental procedure that is associated with the bone and its tissues. So it is important to inform your dentist about the medications that you take before undergoing any dental procedure.  Visit Expert Dental Care for the best Dental Implants in Chennai .  Call us at 99415-11444 to book an appointment with Dr Sravanthi who has done many dental implants in Porur and receive the best Basal Implants in Chenna...

Does dental implants affect MRI?

MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a diagnostic method that utilizes powerful magnets, radio waves, and a computer to generate clear detailed pictures of the internal body. Since MRI scan makes use of powerful magnets, all ferromagnetic metal objects are asked to be removed from the imaging area. Objects including pacemaker implants, cochlear implants, jewelry such as earring, necklaces, piercings, and even metal nail polishes are not allowed during the scan. But does Dental implants interfere with an MRI?  Not at all. Nowadays Dental implants are made with titanium alloy or zirconia materials. These materials are completely safe to enter into an MRI scanning area. However, it is always advisable to inform the doctor about your Implants before commencing the MRI test as a precautionary measure.
