OSTEOPOROSIS AND ORAL HEALTH!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND ORAL HEALTH
Let’s get to understand another more informative blog article .CONNECTION BETWEEN OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE ORAL HEALTH'.
What is OSTEOPOROSIS-
OSTEOPOROSIS IS a generalized skeletal disease/ bone disease resulting in the loss of bone mass and density affecting the middle -aged/older individuals making the bones fragile.
ITS TURNING OUT TO BE A MAJOR DISORDER affecting the MIDDLE AGED AND THE OLDER INDIVIDUALS.
In turn ,Susceptibility to the FRACTURE INCREASES.
Introduction:-
According to the WHO, IT'S THE PROGEESSIVE SYSTEMIC SKELETAL DISEASE.
It’s been defined on the basis of the assessment of the BONE MINERAL DENSITY.
It’s a SILENT DISEASE.
PREVALENCE OF THE OSTEOPOROSIS IS INCREASING!!
It’s a physiological process associated with aging in women.
It’s been described as a outcome of the MULTIFACTORIAL CHRONIC SYSTEMIC DISEASE.
Studies conducted in lieu of the OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE ORAL HEALTH SAY in terms of MANIFESTATIONS/CAUSATION:-
Osteoporosis ETIOLOGY:-
Genetically predisposition.
Autoimmune disorders.
Arthritis.
Age- related disorders(AGING).
Dietry defficiency.
BONES BECOME WEAK AND FRAGILE AND GET PRONE TO FRACTURES.
Osteoporosis have a negative effect on the teeth.It can cause changes to the JAW BRINGING CONSPICUOUS CHANGES IN THE ALLIGNMENT OF THE TEETH.
OSTEOPOROSIS can result in the loss of teeth with the age bringing significant CHANGE IN THE AESTHETICS AND FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES OF THE TEETH.
OSTEOPOROSIS MANIFESTATIONS AND ITS ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS.
Tooth loss.
Jaw problems(tmj disorders) and pain.
Periodontitis(advanced gingivitis).
Problems associated with the fitting of the dental prosthesis -Ill fitting dentures and DENTAL IMPLANT FAILURE.
NOTE:-
ORAL IMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE osteoporosis therapy and the BIOPHOSPHATES ASSOCIATED/related OSTEONECROSIS OF THE JAW(BRONJ) -CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS NOT TO BE MISSED.
RISK FACTORS ARE:
Here both the OSTEOPOROSIS/OSTEOPENIA AND THE ORAL HEALTH ARE VERY MUCH INTER-RELATED.
THEY share similar risk factors given below.
GENDER-FEMALE above age 50 years.
ASIAN RACE.
HEREDITARY.
MENOPAUSE associated issues.
HIGH INTAKE OF PROTEINS,SALT AND CAFFIENE.
LOW INTAKE OF CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D.(DIETRY INTAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.
EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL /SMOKING
IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION.
PHYSICAL INACTIVITY.
LOW SKELETAL MASS.
MEDICAL DISORDERS.
LOW BONE DENSITY.
HORMONAL INEFFICIENCY LIKE ESTROGEN DEFFICIENCY.
SO... DEAR READERS AND VIEWERS..ABOVE ENLISTED RISK FACTORS ARE VERY CRUCIAL FOR PREVETION OF THE IMPENDING OSTEOPOROSIS.
LINE OF MANAGEMENT /PREVENTIVE MEASURES UNDERTAKEN:-
EATING A BALANCED DIET- RICH IN CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D.
LIMIT INTAKE OF THE SUGARY FOODS IN EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS.
QUITTING BAD HABITS LIKE SMOKING, DRINKING ALCOHOL.
REGULAR EXERCISE/ACTIVITY IMPORTANT THAT TOO WEIGHT- BEARING EXERCISE.
MAINTAINANCE OF THE ORAL HYGIENE RELIGIOUSLY.
KEEPING A CHECK FURING MENOPAUSE AS MANY CHANGES HAPPEN IN RESPONSE TO THE HORMONAL FLUCTUATIONS.
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES TO BE SCREENED WITH REGULAR EXAMINATIONS AS PER THE IMMUNOLOGIST.
REGULAR SLEEP IS VERY IMPORTANT.
NOT TO FORGET:-
VISITING DENTAL SURGEON, NUTRITIONIST (DIETICIAN) AND THE PHYSICIAN(MEDICAL SPECIALIST).
CONCLUDING..
Hence Concluding my write up .
Hope you all will understand the CONNECTION AND SURELY PUT EMPHASIS ON CONSIDERING YOUR ORAL HEALTH AND ITS REPERCUSSIONS AND VICE-VERSA.
LET’S MEET AGAIN FOR MORE....
Henceforth..BE CONNECTED AND IMBIBE AND TRY AND INCORPORATE AND PRIOTIZE YOUR ORAL HEALTH.
YOUNG ADULTS :-ESPECIALLY WOMEN FOLLOW !!
AS THE SAYING GOES..
ORAL HEALTH IS THE MIRROR OF THE GENERAL HEALTH!!
