The osteoporosis is a disease characterized by a low osseous mass and a deterioration of the architecture of the bone, leading to an increased osseous brittleness and an increased risk of fracture, whose incidence increases with the age. Approximately 40% of women aged 50 years or older are at risk of an osteoporotic fracture. The frequency of these fractures is in constant increase, primarily because of the continuous aging of the population. One can from now on precociously identify the disease thanks to the osteodensitometry, which measures the osseous mineral density. The age and the menopause are the two principal determinants of the osseous loss. The factors of risk are mainly the family antecedents and the oestrogenic deficiency. The purpose of the preventive treatments of the osteoporosis is to prevent the osseous loss by slowing down the osseous replanning, which accelerates after the menopause. The curative treatments seek to increase the osseous mass and to prevent new fractures without deteriorating the quality of the bone. The dentist must take into account the existence of an osseous pathology that affects fabrics of support of the tooth and the resistance of the jawbones.
