I'm sure you've already heard of bruxism. Indeed, more likely you know that there is a phenomenon where some people tend to grind their teeth at night. Let's get some clarity on the subject.  First of all, bruxism means the involuntary habit of clenching or grinding the teeth and can be day or night.  Well, it seems that if we add nocturnal bruxism, which affects 12% of the population in the US to the day, we arrive at an estimate that in the USA one person out of three suffers from a form of bruxism. If I have to tell you my impression as a clinician making 100-200 visits a month, you can do 50%. The causes of the phenomenon are not known.

Have you lost all your teeth and are you looking on the internet for the best solution for your mouth?  Perhaps those who have remained "dance" in an obvious manner and with a sneeze you risk losing them? All-on-4 systems are now a certainty rather than a possibility. The all on four method, which literally means "everything on four", is a latest-generation implant technique that involves the rehabilitation of an edentulous mouth (without teeth) with only 4 implants and a fixed prosthesis.

Who knows why sometimes there is a strange habit of some patients of a clinic to tell:-  "Doctor, you should fix my teeth rapidly because - In a Month - my daughter gets married" "Excuse me, but even the best specialist cannot do miracles ... yet!" ... unfortunately, I cannot promise that and after all, I must try to find a solution. Given that, to this day the "rehabilitation" solution provides in most cases the use of osseointegrated implants it is important to understand what are the recovery times of the masticatory function after an operation.  So I think that those who have to undergo an implant surgery should be interested in knowing what the recovery time is after the surgery. The matter is not simple. Initially, the loading protocols of the implants (we are talking about the 70' and 80' of the last century) were 4 months for the lower arch and 6 months for the upper one. Biblical times for those who have to put up with remov...
