A member asked:
Can you tell me systemic diseases that cause alveolar bone loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: Periodontal disease and cigar and pipe smoking are the most common causes. Most systemic diseases such as diabetes that are associated with alveolar bone loss are because of the increased incidence of chronic periodontal disease associated with them. I suspect severe osteoporosis may also be an associated factor.
