Tooth loss is not the only tooth lost.

It is known that the physical forces transmitted to the teeth by chewing have the effect of stimulating the presence of the jawbone and creating cell regeneration. The jawbones that support the teeth can be adversely affected if the teeth are pulled out, and since the physical forces directly transmitted to the bone are eliminated, melting can be seen in the jawbones. In natural bone formation and destruction physiology, the upper jaw bones melt from front to back and the lower jaw melts from back to front. This situation, in which people’s lower jaw moves forward due to aging, is observed much more clearly especially in people with tooth deficiency.

Gingivitis can dissolve the jaw bones.

If gingivitis is not treated, it can adversely affect the jaw bones and lead to bone resorption and tooth loss. It is possible to prevent gum diseases with good oral care and regular tooth brushing habits. Bacterial plaque that accumulates on our teeth after meals, when not removed with a toothbrush, can turn into dental calculus along with the minerals in the saliva. This situation; It can lead to gingivitis, bad breath, bleeding gums, and loss of teeth and jawbones in the future. In the treatment of jaw bone resorption, it is possible to correct the deficiencies with bone grafts, also known as bone powder, which are bone-forming artificial materials.

Is the implant harmful to the jawbone?

On the contrary, the implant is a treatment method that benefits the jawbone. Dental implants are the only tooth acquisition option that replaces jawbone stimulation and helps prevent bone loss.

Sinus lift operation

SINUS LIFT OPERATION Following the loss of teeth in the maxillary posterior region, vertical bone loss occurs in the area where the implant is planned due to maxillary sinus aeration. This may prevent adequate stability during dental implant application.

Autogenous block bone graft

AUTOGENIC BLOCK BONE GRAFT Horizontal and vertical bone loss in the areas where implants are planned in the lower jaw and upper jaw has led to the clinical use of autogenous bone collection sites and the advancement of surgical techniques that should be used to obtain bone from this region. Autogenous block bone graft is usually obtained from the tip of the mandible, the ramus region of the mandible (the posterior region of the mandibular second molar) or the iliac bone (hip bone). In general, implant application can be performed 6 months after the procedure.
