Abstract
A multidisciplinary approach to medicine is something that is becoming more popular and widespread today. The combination of multiple health care disciplines can be extremely beneficial to progress an individual’s healing at a more rapid pace than relying only on one area for assistance. Amongst the most popular medical disciplines today, ancient ayurvedic medicine is most popular that many patients are seeking to relieve their ailments not only in India but also in other parts of the world. On the other hand, dental implants are the modern treatment modality that is popular for management of edentulism. However, majority of the elderly patients receiving dental implants are systemically associated with bone disorders that affect bone healing which in turn interferes with osseointegration. Here this review focuses on various pharmacological agents (including ayurvedic) for management of osteoporosis. For the review, data was collected from recently published articles (2001-2018) and multidisciplinary treatment options available for osteoporosis are summarized and reviewed.
