The patients may face various problems due to absence of teeth such as lack of function i.e. loss of chewing function and difficulty in eating. Individuals with missing teeth and loose dentures make people shy & they try to avoid public places. Tooth loss can be due to sports injury, excessive wear or grossly carious tooth or periodontal problems.
It has been seen that if jaw bone remains without teeth, it will resorb /disappear because our jaw bone needs chewing action of teeth to stimulate and keep it strong.As the time passes the patient who is without the support of teeth & bone, the face will begin to look aged.
Treatment options for replacing teeth –They can be replaced by use of crown & bridge, partial denture or full dentures.
Crown & bridge require two or more healthy teeth to serve as abutment. They are reduced in size before cementation of the bridge & hence increase the chances of cavities & endodontic treatment.Another option to replace teeth is dental implant.A dental implant is a root like artificial structure made up of titanium which is placed in the bone . After a period of osseointegration which is around 3-6 months an abutment is attached to it and over it crown is either cemented or screwed.Dental implant can replace single tooth or several teeth.
They are very conservative form of treatment as the adjacent teeth are preserved. They also help in maintaining bone structure . Dental implant like teeth transmit chewing forces to jaw bone and maintaining bone health.Dental implants are the most preferred form of treatment for missing teeth .They have high success rate (90-95%).
Implant are available in different designs, different sizes .Dental implant can replace single missing tooth provided there is adequate bone at the site. If adequate bone is not available then bone grafting can be done. Multiple teeth replacement can also be done by Implant supported prosthesis (removable/fixed), or implant supported denture.Some patient who have lower denture which is very loose,they can benefit from implant supported over-denture.
