putting dental implants when you have osteoporosis

I'm reading bone markers related information these days...

Can it be interpreted this way: when a person is treated with an antiresorptive, both CTX and P1NP are suppressed. CTX is the one usually used for antiresorptive therapy monitoring. So when it is extremely low, below 150 worse yet below 100, there are little chances to form new bones hence little chance for healing. Normally one would need CTX and P1Np at certain level for bone remodeling.

Yes, that's an astute interpretation and i agree. Dr McCormick's preferred range of 200-300 mentioned by kristie aligns with that interpretation. I have also read somewhere that, if you need dental work while on bisphosphonates, you should stop temporarily to allow the CTX values to rise first
