This is another reason why after 50 it is more and hard work to Reverse Age a body, think of the work it takes to re-build the whole bone structure! not to forget the joints! Can't be done? Well, not by Billionaire and their dumb PETS! LOL
Downside? bloody "bone pain" that you forgot about for decades, re-visited! NOT NICE.
On women, menopause itself has to be paused! Done it too!
How is it that they can't do it?

Hello,
I'm getting a chipped tooth extracted, as it has been chipped for a year after a bicycle accident. Covid made seeing a dentist near impossible, and now its infected (molar 14) - the dentist I'm seeing now said I would need a 3 tooth bridge (more on this later)
I am confused about decay vs bone resorption after tooth extraction?
Seems like I will be losing bone regardless if I keep my tooth in, or get it extracted? My X rays show I have already lost some bone (the doc said its about 1mm). When I inquired about bone loss after extraction, he said don't worry about it since I am still fairly young (28 years old). And I would have to wait for the bone to rebuild itself after the extraction? But reading online, it says I will lose bone if I get my tooth extracted.... I am very confused....
As I am low income since losing my job during COVID, I got to think about all the money i've managed to save up during this entire pandemic. Which is about 5,000. So, it seems like the only difference is the 3,600.00 bill my dentist is charging me AND losing/destroying the additional teeth next to the infected one to put a bridge in...
It just feels like "damned if I do, and damned if I don't"
If I get it extracted and don't get the bridge, the dentist says I risk the back tooth shifting inward toward the gap, and bone loss will still happen on top of that? If I leave the tooth in, I risk bone loss via infection. I don't get it which is worse.
I suppose it would make my decision easier, if I could get a single implant done, but my dentist says an implant procedure cost as much as a house??....he also will not work with me on the costs/payment options since he got jibbed by previous patients.
So I've even looked at going to one of those "aspen dental" but heard nothing but bad things about them, and my dentists knows I am worried about the quality of service from aspen dental. Also every dentist in my area, including aspen dental - have a 4 - 6 week waiting period.
Any advice/experience/wisdom will be greatly appreciated.
My understanding is that bone resorption is osteoclasts breaking down bone and bone mineralization is osteoblasts adding minerals and making bone. But then I don’t understand what the difference between resorption and demineralization is.

Published: 16 September 2020
ABSTRACT
Background
Plant-based diets may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, but can also lead to low calcium and vitamin D intakes, posing a risk for bone health.
Objectives
We investigated whether partial replacement of animal proteins with plant-based proteins using a whole-diet approach affects bone and mineral metabolism in healthy adults in 3 groups fed diets differing in protein composition.
Methods
This 12-week clinical trial was comprised of 107 women and 29 men (20–69 years old; BMI mean ± SD, 24.8 ± 3.9) randomly assigned to consume 1 of 3 diets designed to provide 17 energy percent (E%) protein: “animal” (70% animal protein, 30% plant protein of total protein intake), “50/50” (50% animal, 50% plant), and “plant” (30% animal, 70% plant) diets. We examined differences in bone formation [serum intact procollagen type I amino-terminal propeptide (S-iPINP)], bone resorption [serum collagen type 1 cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide (S-CTX)], mineral metabolism markers (primary outcomes), and nutrient intakes (secondary outcomes) by ANOVA/ANCOVA.
Results
S-CTX was significantly higher in the plant group (mean ± SEM, 0.44 ± 0.02 ng/mL) than in the other groups (P values < 0.001 for both), and differed also between the animal (mean ± SEM, 0.29 ± 0.02 ng/mL) and 50/50 groups (mean ± SEM, 0.34 ± 0.02 ng/mL; P = 0.018). S-iPINP was significantly higher in the plant group (mean ± SEM, 63.9 ± 1.91 ng/mL) than in the animal group (mean ± SEM, 55.0 ± 1.82 ng/mL; P = 0.006). In a subgroup without a history of vitamin D supplement use, plasma parathyroid hormone was significantly higher in the plant than in the animal grou

Conjugation of the moderate bone binding drug risedronate to a pH activatable BODIPY fluorophore enables the probe to penetrate osteocytic lacunae cavities that are embedded deep within the bone matrix. After injection of pHocas‐RIS, any osteocytic lacunae caused by bone‐resorbing osteocytes cause the probe to fluoresce in vivo , thus allowing imaging to be carried out using intravital two‐photon excitation microscopy. This enables this pH responsive probe to be used to visualize the bone mineralizing activities of acid producing osteocytes in real time, thus providing a valuable imaging method to explore their central role in remodeling bone‐matrix in health and disease.

Dear Dentists,
I'm writing to you in hopes to get the opinion of the qualified Reddit crowd. This is a case that's bothered me for about a year now, although its history is longer.
I was born with a defect where tooth 3 was positioned on top of tooth 2. After some orthodontic treatment where they attempted to pull tooth 3 down, they decided to remove the tooth entirely. I was 15 at the time, now I'm 28 (female). I've been having one of those plastic prosthetic things that you can put off and on daily since then.
It worked well (still does), until my dentist saw an X-Ray last August and realised tooth 2's nerve was dead. She's not an implant person/oral surgeon, so she suggested I see an endodontist to do a root canal treatment on 2. The root canal was done in November 2019. The X-Ray below was taken today (June 2020). The dentist whom I had a consultation with told me there's an infection, and it hasn't subsided, despite the expectations of the endodontist. The dentist from today suggests a cleaning around the root of the tooth (not inside). I don't know how this works, but she assures me that it might help the infection if it's cleaned out. Is this true? She mentioned the 'cleaning' is mechanical, and not chemical. How is mechanical removal of any debris meant to heal an infection of the bone? How does this work?
Tooth 2 itself feels normal, however applying pressure to it (such as when I bite), feels a little off. It doesn't move, it just feels a little weird when I tap it from below (same direction as biting). It's enough to notice and cause concern.
My ideal scenario is to have the perfect smile. I want to do some straightening and whitening. I've been told to do any orthodontic treatment before any implant surgery or bone grafting, but this seems weird to me. What if tooth 2 is lost when it's being pulled in different directions to straighten it, when its bone integrity is compromised?
It seems to me there's different specialists whose opinions matter (endodonsist, orthodontist, implant surgeons, etc) and I can't really get them to talk to each other and discuss the whole case entirely. So, I'm here, asking the Reddit community of qualified professionals to shed some light, if possible.
Please share your thoughts and if possible, include a timeline of the procedures. How long between what to heal etc.
Thanks in advance.

in my mind, vitamin D brings more calcium into the body due to increased absorption in the intestinal tract. this increase in calcium will be used to build the osteoid in the bone. so shouldn't high levels of vitamin D promote bone mineralization rather than resorption?
So recently one of my friends started talking about alkaline water and how it is ''beneficial'' for health and such, and he linked me this science article to support his claim, citing how it helps on bone metabolism and preventing osteoporosis
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S8756328208007813 " Alkaline mineral water lowers bone resorption even in calcium sufficiency: Alkaline mineral water and bone metabolism "
Abstract
Background
Dietary acid charge enhances bone loss. Bicarbonate or alkali diet decreases bone resorption in humans. We compared the effect of an alkaline mineral water, rich in bicarbonate, with that of an acid one, rich in calcium only, on bone markers, in young women with a normal calcium intake.
Methods
This study compared water A (per litre: 520 mg Ca, 291 mg HCO3−, 1160 mg SO4−, Potential Renal Acid load (PRAL) + 9.2 mEq) with water B (per litre: 547 mg Ca, 2172 mg HCO3−, 9 mg SO4−, PRAL − 11.2 mEq). 30 female dieticians aged 26.3 yrs (SD 7.3) were randomized into two groups, followed an identical weighed, balanced diet (965 mg Ca) and drank 1.5 l/d of the assigned water. Changes in blood and urine electrolytes, C-telopeptides (CTX), urinary pH and bicarbonate, and serum PTH were measured after 2 and 4 weeks.
Results
The two groups were not different at baseline, and showed a similar increase in urinary calcium excrection. Urinary pH and bicarbonate excretion increased with water B, but not with water A. PTH (p = 0.022) and S-CTX (p = 0.023) decreased with water B but not with water A.
Conclusion
In calcium sufficiency, the acid calcium-rich water had no effect on bone resorption, while the alkaline water rich in bicarbonate led to a significant decrease of PTH and of S-CTX.

Around two months ago, I started to have some pain around the area of my back two molars (wisdom teeth already removed). The gums inbetween the two teeth were inflammed and swollen. My dentist wasn't able to detect any cavity and/or abcess on either tooth, and deduced a faint lite gray line one of the molars could be resorption. The endodontist took a CT scan which revealed resorption in the first molar. I asked how could something contained within the tooth causes the gums to inflame, to which he replied I have bone loss in the space inbetween the back two molars. This is very confusing to me as no dentists I have been to over the past few years have claimed I have periodontal disease/ bone loss in this area, and I have kept up my dental hygeine.
Can resorption in a tooth cause gums to inflame around said tooth and cause this bone loss? The resorption I have is contained entirely within the tooth and is on the opposite side of the area with bone loss. I woke up with a lot of pain today, but don't want to get a root canal that will not fix said pain.
Mushroom extracts have shown promising effects in the treatment of cancer and various chronic diseases.
Osteoporosis is considered one of the most widespread chronic diseases, for which currently available therapies show mixed results.
In this research we investigated the in vitro effects of water extracts of the culinary-medicinal mushrooms Trametes versicolor, Grifola frondosa, Lentinus edodes, and Pleurotus ostreatus on a MC3T3-E1 mouse osteoblast-like cell line, primary rat osteoblasts, and primary rat osteoclasts
Several weeks ago i had part of my skull removed to relieve a swollen, pressurized brain. I had another surgery to put it back in, but my body doesn't like that. It's absorbing all the skeletal minerals because it doesn't recognize the skull flap. Some research says that THC can actually help bone metabolism, but I don't wanna take the risk that my favorite hobby will fuck me over. Will it?
I tried to post this to r/health, but it doesn't allow text posts
