“…These observations suggest that oestrogens may suppress bone turnover and net bone loss in pre-as well as postmenopausal women and indeed there is evidence from radiological measurements that bone mineral content increases in young women taking oral contraceptives (Goldsmith and Johnston 1975;Darzenta and Giunta 1977). The balance studies of Heaney, Recker and Saville (1978) may also be relevant in this connection since these workers observed that apparently healthy pre-menopausal women were in slightly negative calcium balance which was thought to be due to an inadequate dietary intake of calcium.…”

“…In addition to case reports describing effects of oral contraceptives on the gingiva, there have also been reports suggesting links between oral contraceptive use and dry socket formation following extraction of third molars (although it is notable that smoking, which is a risk factor for dry sockets, was not assessed) (133). In addition, it was reported that users of oral contraceptives were more likely to have evidence of radiopacities (of unknown nature) in the mandible (as were females in general, compared to males), an effect that was suggested to be linked to the effect of estrogens on bone formation (20). Associations between use of oral contraceptives and melanotic pigmentation of the gingival tissues have also been reported (50).…”

“…Επίσης, προσδιορίζεται υψηλό ποσοστό μέχρι και 40% εμφάνισης οστεΐτιδας (ξηρού φατνίου) μετά την εξαγωγή των τρίτων γομφίων, σύμβαμα που συσχετίστηκε με πιθανή αύξηση της ινωδολυτικής δραστηριότητας, η οποία οδηγεί σε λύση του αιματικού πήγματος μετά από τη χρήση αντισυλληπτικών δισκίων (Sweet and Buttler 1977). Περιγράφονται, ακόμη και «ακτινοσκιερές περιοχές» που εντοπίζονται ιδιαίτερα στην κάτω γνάθο των γυναικών που λαμβάνουν αντισυλληπτικά δισκία (Darzenta and Giunta 1977), που θεωρούνται περιοχές με εναπόθεση οστού και ερμηνεύονται από την ανταγωνιστική δράση των οιστρογόνων στη δραστηριότητα της παραθορμόνης (Peacock 1972, Schulz et al 1973.…”
