Pathomorphological changes of dental pulp in experimental osteoporosis

“…This applies mainly to corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, immunosuppressants, and aluminum-containing preparations [2,3]. In addition to bone deformities and pathological fractures due to lack of calcium in the oral cavity along with osteoporosis there appears the thinning of tooth enamel and increase of its sensitivity, loosening of teeth, and periodontal tissue destruction [4,5,6]. The development of pathogenetic methods for pulp pathology correction takes understanding of the mechanisms and pathomorphological changes in the pulp of intact teeth under osteoporosis, which was not to be found in the available literature.…”
