THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE LIST MATES THAT RESPONDED TO MY QUESTIONS ABOUT DENTAL IMPLANTS.  I RECEIVED 13 REPLIES – SEVEN HAD IMPLANTS AND OR BONE GRAFTS. ALL INDICATED NO GLUTEN PROBLEM REGARDING THE DENTAL BONE AND MATERIALS.
ONE PERSON HAD AN IMPLANT FAILURE BECAUSE OF OSTEONECROSIS OF THE JAW AND CAUTIONED ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND ONE SAID HER JAW BONE HAD DETERIORATED TOO MUCH FOR THE PROCEDURE.  THERE IS STILL SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME THE OSTEOPOROSIS MEDS AFFECT YOUR BODY AFTER YOU STOP TAKING THEM – 2 TO 10 YEARS?  WISH WHEN I STARTED IN 2000 MY DOCTOR HAD MADE ME AWARE OF THE EFFECTS ON THE JAW BONE – BUT HE PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW AT THAT TIME EITHER.
THANKS AGAIN AND ALSO FOR THE GOOD WISHES FOR A SUCCESSFUL SURGERY/IMPLANT.
