The results of a postal questionnaire completed by 360 patients with Paget's disease of bone, on behalf of themselves and their unaffected spouses, suggest that dental practitioners have some awareness of the potential problems associated with extractions for patients with Paget's disease, but that nevertheless patients still suffer from greater difficulty at extraction and more post-extraction complications than normal.
