“…While high-fat diets are associated with impaired bone metabolism, vegan or vegetarian diets may also promote negative effects on bone. 408 Physical activity and diet may be the most relevant factors affecting BMD and fracture risk. 409 Vegan diets have been advised in order for individuals to avoid CVDs caused by high-fat diets common in Western countries; however, the cessation of animal-based food consumption is an unnatural pattern with no precedents in the evolution of Homo sapiens.…”

Implant dentistry has evolved to the point that standard implant osseointegration is predictable. This is attributed in part to the advancements in material sciences that have led toward improvements in implant surface technology and characteristics. Nonetheless, there remain several cases where implant therapy fails (specifically at early time points), most commonly attributed to factors affecting bone metabolism. Among these patients, smokers are known to have impaired bone metabolism and thus be subject to higher risks of early implant failure and/or late complications related to the stability of the peri‐implant bone and mucosal tissues. Notably, however, emerging data have unveiled other critical factors affecting osseointegration, namely, those related to the metabolism of bone tissues. The aim of this review is to shed light on the effects of implant‐related factors, like implant surface or titanium particle release; surgical‐related factors, like osseodensification or implanted biomaterials; various drugs, like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, anti‐hypertensives, nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory medication, and statins, and host‐related factors, like smoking, diet, and metabolic syndrome on bone metabolism, and aseptic peri‐implant bone loss. Despite the infectious nature of peri‐implant biological complications, these factors must be surveyed for the effective prevention and management of peri‐implantitis.

Purpose of Review Osteoporosis affects 50% of women and 20% of men after the age of 50. Fractures are associated with significant morbidity, increased mortality and altered quality of life. Lifestyle measures for fragility fracture prevention include good nutrition including adequate protein and calcium intakes, vitamin D sufficiency, and regular weight bearing physical exercise. Recent Findings Dietary protein is one of the most important nutritional considerations as it affects bone mineral density, trabecular and cortical microstructure, and bone strength. When calcium intake is sufficient, higher dietary protein intake is associated with lower risk of fracture. Dairy products are a valuable source of calcium and high quality protein. Dairy product consumption, particularly fermented dairy products, are associated with a lower risk of hip fracture and vegan diets are associated with increased fracture risk. Other dietary factors associated with reduced fracture risk include at least 5 servings per day of fruits and vegetables, regular tea drinking, adherence to a Mediterranean diet and other dietary patterns which provide fibers, polyphenols and fermented dairy products. Such dietary patterns may confer health benefits through their effect on gut microbiota composition and/or function. Summary A balanced diet including minerals, protein, fruits and vegetables is an important element in the prevention of osteoporosis and of fragility fracture.
