Can ADT cause thinning of teeth?

Does anyone know if there's any evidence that ADT can thin your teeth, just as it can thin your bones (osteoporosis)? Since I began a two-year course of Zoladex 2.5 years ago, one tooth after another has cracked, necessitating implants. This may just be a sign of age and/or the effect of too much grinding, but I can't help but wonder if ADT can have the same effect on teeth as bones. I developed osteopenia in one hip during hormonal therapy, which also makes me wonder about a bone-tooth connection.

Teeth are regenerated through saliva not osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

So it seems unlikely.

And they do crack with age.

But who knows.
