REPLACEMENT OF TOOTH LOSS
WHY DOES TOOTH LOSS OCCUR?
Three major factors affects tooth loss:
- significant bone loss around the tooth
- caries caused inflammed pulp
- trauma caused tooth crack
At Marident our priary goal is to save tooth with the newest techniques and the most modern medical devices.
HOW TO TREAT TOOTH LOSS
-
in case of small number of teeth loss and the remaining teeth have good periodontium, then the non-surgical therapy is preparing:
-
a zircon-ceramic bridge
-
a porcelain-fused to metal bridge
-
-
in case of large number of teeth loss and the remaining teeth have good periodontium, then the non-surgical therapy preparing:
-
Zircon-ceramic bridge (if the brige is not angulated)
-
porcelain-fused to metal bridge (stronger)
-
removable partial denture
-
-
in case of endentolous jaws the non-surgical therpay is preparing:
-
removable denture
-
-
In case of tooth loss with enough bone at the site the surgial therapy is to
-
put an implant or implants with zircon-ceramic corwns or bridges
-
-
in case of multiple teeth loss with enough bone at the sites the therapy is to put more implants with zircon-ceramic bridges or porcelain-fused to metal bridges
-
In case of edentolous jaws the surgical therapy is to
-
make an All-On-Four prothetic work
-
or
-
put implants with removable partial dentures
-
IMPLANT OR FIXED BRIDGE?
Completion time:
Implantation:
After the surgical therapy the healing time is 3-5 month long and the implant-prosthetic treatment takes almost 1 month.
or
Fixed bridges:
The completion of the prosthetic treatment takes 1 or 2 weeks.
Amount of bone at the site of tooth loss
Implantation:
The implantation depends on the amount of the available bone, if it is few, then we have to do bone augmentation procedure.
The healig time after the augmentation process is 4-7 months.
or
Fixed bridges are independent of the available bone quantity.
Durability of the restorations.
Implantation:
Two controls are needed in a year to check the implants in our dentistry.
The health of the implants depends on the patient's home cleaning efficiency
Fixed bridges:
At least one control is needed in a year to check the status of the bridges.
The health of the bridges depends on the patient's home cleaning efficiency
Both therapies have high long lasting time, nearly 10-20 years or more.
