A review of the literature on the relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal disease is presented. Osteoporosis, a metabolic disease, and periodontal disease, which is infectious, are both major health problems with multifactorial etiologies. There is histologic and radiographic evidence from animals and humans that osteoporosis does affect alveolar bone by decreasing bone mass and trabeculation. The literature reviewed in this paper suggests, but does not yet provide conclusive evidence for, a direct relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal disease.
本文对骨质疏松症与牙周病之间关系的文献进行了综述。骨质疏松症是一种代谢性疾病，而牙周病是一种感染性疾病，二者都是病因多因素的主要健康问题。动物和人类的组织学及影像学证据表明，骨质疏松症确实会通过降低骨量和骨小梁数量来影响牙槽骨。本文所综述的文献表明骨质疏松症与牙周病之间存在直接关系，但尚未提供确凿证据。
