Advantages of modern treatments and implants

Implants play a significant role in modern dental treatment.

One of the most important advantages of implant placement is that the implant rests on the patient’s jawbone, just like the roots of natural teeth. And there is no connection or support to adjacent teeth, and the forces applied due to chewing food and pressure from opposing teeth, etc. are directly transferred and distributed to the patient’s jawbone. And this is a very effective factor in preventing damage to adjacent teeth during edentulism and loss of natural teeth. Therefore, in the modern method, the patient’s jawbone has a much higher value than natural teeth. Because there is a suitable replacement for the tooth. However, high-quality bone restoration of the patient’s jaw is both time-consuming and problematic.

Let’s consider how a natural first molar tooth in the lower jaw can be treated without any connection to adjacent teeth after decay and root canal treatment.

As can be seen in the image, the treatment is completely independent and relies only on the patient’s jawbone.

One of the biggest advantages of implant therapy over traditional methods is the preservation of the patient’s remaining bone and the prevention of bone loss. This behavior ultimately keeps people in a stable facial composition and proportion. And facial aging and a decrease in the height of the lower third of the face compared to the middle and forehead are not less.

Image number one shows the patient’s natural facial height with teeth present

Image number two shows a comparison between the natural and post-extraction facial position.

Image number three shows a complete edentulous state where the lower jaw is gradually pushed forward and the upper jaw is receded backward, resulting in a complete gingival recession.
