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.
