Those concepts have been carried over to dental treatment. A common clinical challenge in dental practice relates to bone loss associated with periodontal disease, tooth loss or other causes as well as treating tooth mobility and peri-implantitis.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></p><p><strong>Conclusion </strong>LMHFV provides similar positive results as reported in orthopedics, to improve osteo-stimulatory affects improving bone quality and density around both natural teeth and dental implants.</p> ER -
