  ABSTRACT: The osteoporosis is a disease characterized by a low osseous mass and a deterioration of the architecture of the bone leading to an increased osseous brittleness and an increase in the risk of fracture whose incidence increases with the age, approximately 40% of the women arriving at 50 years age risk at least an osteoporotic fracture. The frequency of these fractures is in constant increase, primarily because of the continuous aging of the population. One can from now on precociously identify the disease thanks to the osteodensitometry which measures the osseous mineral density. The age and menopause are the two principal determinants of the osseous loss. The factors of risks are mainly the family antecedents and the oestrogenic deficiency. The purpose of the preventive treatments of osteoporosis is to prevent the osseous loss by slowing down the osseous replanning which accelerates after the menopause. The curative treatments seek to increase the osseous mass and to prevent new fractures without deteriorating the quality of the bone. The Dentist must take into account the existence of an osseous pathology that affects the supporting structures of the tooth and the resistance of the jawbones.
