Copper deficit as a potential pathogenic factor of reduced bone mineral density and severe tooth wear

SUMMARY: The study evaluated if men and women with severe tooth wear were at increased risk of general bone loss. Enamel biopsies obtained from 50 subjects aged 47.5 ± 5 years showed decreased copper content, which was associated with reduced spine bone mineral density, suggesting deficits of this t...
