A member asked:
Can fungal meningitis and voriconazole cause a ruptured plantaris, loss of range of motion in arm, and bone loss in jaw 4 years after a dental implant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I know of no association. But if you are losing bone, don't ignore it. See a dental bone specialist, a Periodontist, to find out what is causing your bone loss and what you can do to halt the process.
