Bone Tite Supplement for Dental Implants

Posted by 4deborahrb @4deborahrb, Feb 22 2:00pm

I recently had a tooth extracted due to a crumbling old root canal. I’m also on Evenity. The periodontist and Endo agreed I didn’t have to stop the Evenity. The perio recommended Bone-Tite supplement to strengthen the bone to get ready for an implant. Has anyone used this supplement? The claims for bone improvement are significant but I wonder why it is specific to implant surgery only and not the whole body. Anyone know of any science on this supplement? I can’t find an independent study. Thanks in advance.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@4deborahrb unfortunately medications like Prolia, Evenity etc. can cause jaw necrosis which it seems you may be in danger of following any dental treatment - which is why some people (I included) opted out of using Prolia - which I think works the same as Evenity …?

I found three articles when I searched for information. The first one is the supplement information provided by Bone-Tite in which it says the supplement is used for osseointegration. So I looked up “osseointegration for dental implants” and came across a research article on it. The third one is from Mayo Clinic which explains the process involved with dental implants.

A fair bit of reading, but I hope it is helpful:
