WHAT CAUSES A LACK OF TEETH
Prof. Dr. to iHealth, note” that lack of teeth can cause changes in facial aesthetics.”
Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Dentistry Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery Faculty Member Prof. Dr. noted that tooth deficiencies in Turkey can cause melts in jawbone and long-term tooth deficiency can cause changes in facial aesthetics.
The relationship between deciduous teeth and Jawbone continues throughout life . When a tooth is lost, the bone in this area begins to dissolve and a decrease in the width of the bone and then its height occurs. At the end of the first year when the tooth is lost, there is a 25% reduction in bone width. A moving prosthesis cannot protect the bone, but rather accelerates bone loss, as it transmits chewing forces only to the bone surface.
In order for the jawbone to be preserved, chewing forces must be transmitted to the entire bone. Dr. said that this condition can only be achieved with natural teeth or dental implants that serve as a dental root.
Natural changes in the facial area due to the aging process are accelerated by the loss of teeth. Loss of the jawbone as a result of long-term toothlessness negatively affects facial aesthetics. Toothlessness, especially around the mouth, deepens the lines on the lips and face, the corners of the lips fall down and the patient’s unhappy face image causes.
Dental Prof. Doctor in Istanbul, Turkey; to prevent the negative effects caused by tooth deficiencies, the closest solution to nature is implant treatment, and implant treatment also minimizes the melting of the jawbone, he said.
An Implant-supported prosthesis allows normal flexing muscle function and stimulates bone, similar to natural teeth, to maintain their size. As a result, dental implants placed in the bone are the ideal form of treatment for providing aesthetic, speech and chewing functions in patients with tooth deficiency, providing support for both bone tissue and prosthesis.
