Menopause. 1999 Summer;6(2):129-33.
The alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible provide the bony framework for tooth support. Osteoporotic changes of these bones may directly affect tooth stability and retention. This report reviews studies that have evaluated the relationship between systemic osteoporosis and oral alveolar bone mass as well as the effect of estrogen use on oral alveolar bone and tooth retention.
Ten years (1989-1998) literature review.
Studies reviewed demonstrate a positive correlation between systemic bone mass and systemic osteoporosis to oral bone resorption. Estrogen replacement therapy affects oral bone in a manner similar to the way it affects other sites.
It is evident that postmenopausal estrogen users may retain more teeth after menopause. Sustained oral health and better tooth retention are potentially additional benefits for hormone replacement therapy users after menopause.
上颌骨和下颌骨的牙槽突为牙齿支撑提供了骨框架。这些骨骼的骨质疏松性改变可能直接影响牙齿的稳定性和固位。本报告回顾了评估全身骨质疏松与口腔牙槽骨量之间关系以及雌激素使用对口腔牙槽骨和牙齿固位影响的研究。
十年(1989 - 1998年)文献综述。
所回顾的研究表明全身骨量和全身骨质疏松与口腔骨吸收之间存在正相关。雌激素替代疗法对口腔骨的影响方式与其对其他部位的影响方式相似。
显然,绝经后使用雌激素的女性在绝经后可能保留更多牙齿。持续的口腔健康和更好的牙齿固位可能是绝经后激素替代疗法使用者的额外潜在益处。
