Abstract :
Background: Tooth extraction can cause alveolar resorption, then and the reduction of denture retention. The process of bone resorption looks like in osteoporosis. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is rational therapy for minimizing bone loss. Miacalcic is the drug of choice for osteporotic patient. Purpose: This study is aimed to know whether the combination of miacalcic, Ca-lactate, vitamin C are effective in inhibiting post extracted alveolar resorption. Methods: Thirty three healthy postmenopausal women were used as samples and they were classified randomly into control group (without treatment), 1st experiment group (treatment was started 3 months post extraction), and 2nd experiment group (treatment was started at the 2nd day post extraction). This research used a completely randomized design. The treatment was giving miacalcic nasal spray, Ca-lactate 500 mg and vitamin C 100 mg tablets every morning in 10 days every month for 3 months. X-ray photo of the post extracted area were taken an hour, 3 months, and 6 months post extraction. Results: After 6th month, there was significant difference about buccolingual thickness decreasing among three groups (p<0.05). The maximum mean difference of buccolingual thickness decreasing was 0.72 mm, between control and 2nd experiment groups. There was non significant difference about bone density decreasing among them (p > 0.10). The maximum difference of the mean of density decreasing was 1,906 g/cm2/mm between control and 2nd experiment groups. The increasing density occurred mostly in the 2nd experiment group. Conclusion: The combination of miacalcic, Ca-lactate, and vitamin C are effective for inhibiting alveolar resorption, although statistically there was no significant difference about bone density decreasing. The sooner this treatment is given the better result will be achieved.
