Total Edentulism


Total edentulism, i.e. the lack of all the teeth in one or both arches represents for many an important aesthetic and psychological problem but, also and above all, at a functional level; just think of the difficulties in simple chewing. It is no coincidence that those who suffer from it are often forced to a diet made almost exclusively of liquid / soft foods.



Over the years, moreover, total edentulism causes reabsorption of the maxillary bone, which, by thinning, can cause, among other things, real modifications of the facial profile.

Rehabilitation of oral functions must hence, mean for the patient:
  • Satisfaction
  • Ease of adaptation
  • Chewing functionality
  • Self-esteem
  • Aesthetic improvement
  • Better quality of life and social relationships
And this the wearers of mobile prostheses, perpetually worried about its instability, know this well.

The lack of several teeth can, therefore, be happily resolved by resorting to modern implantology:

 Overdenture, mobile prosthesis anchored to the implants: the simplest and often the most convenient alternative for the implant treatment of the edentulous patient.

This type of implant is indicated above all for patients who already wear a prosthesis but dissatisfied with its tightness. Of course, the prosthesis must still be removed and cleaned after meals, but the good seal offers a pleasant feeling of safety and, compared to a normal denture, offers far greater chewing comfort.

 All on 4 Full Zirconia Prettau or a fixed prosthesis on implants that restores the missing teeth of the entire arch: the best solution for stability, functionality, management over time, and which is able to match the appearance and sensation of natural teeth.

 Compared to the mobile prosthesis, in fact, the implants offer several advantages in everyday life:
  • Fixed teeth that do not risk falling, creating discomfort or embarrassment
  • Free palate to be able to speak and eat without problems;
  • Greater chewing ability;
  • Support of tissues around the mouth for a more youthful appearance of the face;
  • No need for adhesives, or to remove the prosthesis at night

Why the All on 4 Implant System is the best ¨solution¨?

Image
The All on 4 (all on four) and the All on 6 implantology (all on six) are surgical techniques for the total rehabilitation of the two arches   (upper and lower jaws) that have become very popular in the last decade. The inventor of this technique is a Portuguese dentist: Dr. Paulo Malo, who has taken up the concepts of implant surgery developed in the 90s, which suggested the possibility of avoiding complex and invasive interventions, such as bone grafts or maxillary sinus elevations, inclining the implants in a way to anchor them in the patient's residual bone.

Digital dentistry: Is this the future of dentistry?

Image
The connotations of being past the year 2020 bring about thoughts of futuristic concepts as suggested by movies, the Internet, and a vast array of media.  Movies and books, set in a time period only a few decades forward, have portrayed a life filled with advanced medicine, travel, engineering, manufacturing, and even rapid and simple food production. Yet, when we reach that future date, we observe that technology doesn’t change as fast as our minds imagine. Does dentistry today — often termed “digital dentistry” — represent the high-tech, easy-to-implement solutions that were imagined and written about 30 years ago or even last year? Clinicians with decades of experience or the student of dental history can look back at the advances in dentistry and state clearly that the dental profession has experienced an exciting amount of technological growth. Yet in comparison to medicine, biomedical engineering, automotive and aeronautics, rapid manufacturing, electronics,

The Warranty in Dentistry is Guaranteed?

Image
Nowadays, whatever expenses are incurred to pay for an item is balanced by a guarantee. When is a health service paid the same thing? "Medicine is not an exact science", we often hear. And in the health field, there are diagnostic and operational processes that differ in many ways from the mere purchase of an object. But it is also true that healthcare costs put a strain on patients' pockets, which cannot be deprived of a form of guarantee on the therapies to which they have been subjected, so the subject I believe deserves further study. Just last month I had 30 minutes on the agenda to meet the lawyer of one of my patients who is carrying out a legal battle to claim damages and compensation against her previous dentist. She had been reporting her previous dentist due to issues with an aesthetically beautiful total ceramic crown restoration, which underneath the crowns I don't think there was even one without infection. This has made me reflect on what form
