Effect of ovariectomy on the local residual ridge remodeling

Osteoporosis and Bone Regeneration

“…Elovic et al, 1994; E. ; R.P. Elovic et al, 1995;L. Jahangiri et al, 1997), which supports this speculation.…”

Bone mineral density of the mandible in ovariectomized rats: analyses using dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography

“…Although the precise mechanism of the lower susceptibility of the molar region of the mandible to estrogen‐deficient conditions is not clear, it is likely that mechanical stress derived from functional occlusion is preventing bone loss in this pathological condition. Recent studies demonstrated that maxillary molar extraction together with ovariectomy causes more bone loss in the mandible than does maxillary molar extraction alone (Elovic et al 1994; Klemetti and Vainio, 1994; Elovic et al, 1995a; Jahangiri, Kim and Nishimura, 1997), which supports this speculation.…”

Mandibular Bone Formation Rates in Aged Ovariectomized Rats Treated with Anti-resorptive Agents Alone and in Combination with Intermittent Parathyroid Hormone

“…Miller et al (1997) noted increased bone tumover in the mandible at shorter times after ovariectomy in the rat, and Elovic et al (1995) reported some reductions in bone area and stiffness at later times. Bone resorption and remodeling of the residual ridge after tooth extraction were accelerated following ovariectomy in rats (Hsieh et al, 1995;Jahangiri et al, 1997), and alveolar bone loss has also been observed following ovariectomy in sheep .…”
