This tends to cause serum calcium to be deposited in bone leading to a decrease serum calcium level. In response to low serum calcium the parathyroid glands are stimulated to secrete parathormone (PTH) which results in secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Atropine is an anticholinergic drug, would increase heart rate

Peri-Implantitis

Implants

Peri-implantitis is defined as radiographically detectable peri-implant bone loss occurring after initial successful osseointegration combined with soft tissue inflammation lesion that demonstrates suppuration and probing depths of 6mms or more. The process begins at the coronal aspect of the implant, whereas the more apical portion remains clinically stable (osseointegrated).
