Abstract
Osteoporosis is a progressive systemic bone disease that is characterized by an increase in fragility, decreased bone volume and risk of fracture. It affects the cancellous part of the bone as well as its cortical part. The most important complication of osteoporosis on oral and maxillofacial components is the decrease in bone mass and density and periodontitis. There is no definitive contraindication associated with maxillofacial surgical procedures in this group of patients; almost all of the related surgical procedures could be applied if the suitable circumstances will be ensured. This review is focused on the particular points of the oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures including dental implant procedures in patients with osteoporosis
