Loss of alveolar bone from the edentulous jaws is a serious and common clinical problem, especially among the elderly. The retention and stability of dentures are reduced, but little is known about the pathogenesis of this bone loss. The existing data suggest that either local factors, for instance occlusal trauma, or systemic factors such as postmenopausal osteoporosis, contribute to edentulous alveolar bone resorption. This paper reviews the evidence for the aetiology of residual ridge resorption following tooth extraction.
无牙颌牙槽骨吸收是一个严重且常见的临床问题，在老年人中尤为普遍。义齿的固位和稳定性会降低，但对于这种骨吸收的发病机制却知之甚少。现有数据表明，局部因素（如咬合创伤）或全身因素（如绝经后骨质疏松症）均会导致无牙牙槽骨吸收。本文综述了拔牙后剩余牙槽嵴吸收病因的相关证据。
