Did you make it? The more teeth are missing, the easier it is for people to become stupid
Old, lost teeth
According to the Fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey, less than 35% of the elderly over 80 years old in China have 20 teeth, and the oral health rate of middle-aged and elderly people is less than 15%. Among them, the elderly population aged 65 to 74 years old have a tooth loss rate of up to 86.1%, and 10% are completely toothless." The data shows the situation.
Or if you have the heart, let the elders of the family open their mouths to give you a look, scared? There are not a few good teeth left in the mouth...
They also think it's normal and think you're making a fuss:
After being older, how can the teeth not fall out?
The truth is that age and tooth loss are not necessarily linked.
Just, since our oral health awareness is basically 0, brushing our teeth every day? inexistent. What periodontal disease is, it is not clear. Rotten teeth? If it is not cured, this has a lot to do with losing teeth.
It doesn't matter but the dentures still have to be arranged
To put it bluntly, who loves to eat porridge every day?
We don't pursue the reasons in the past, and the medical conditions are not so good, but you who are reading this article should realize the harm of missing teeth.
It is reported that the research team of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare conducted a questionnaire survey on 4425 healthy elderly people over the age of 65, and followed up the survey for the next 4 years.
The results showed that older people who did not frequently visit the dental hospital had a 1.4 times higher risk of developing dementia than older people who frequently went to the dentist. Compared with older people with more than 20 teeth of their own, the risk of dementia symptoms is 1.9 times higher than that of older people with almost all teeth lost and no dentures installed, compared with those who have almost all teeth lost but use dentures, which is 1.2 times higher.
The results of a study in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology showed that the more missing teeth a person with coronary heart disease, the higher the risk of stroke and death.
Cumulative incidence in patients with different levels of tooth loss: (a) major cardiovascular events; (b) cardiovascular deaths; (c) stroke events; and (d) all-cause deaths in 1 to 4000 days
In this way, it is not empty to live for ten years without a tooth.
So today I will focus on introducing you to a variety of dentures. From the most familiar movable dentures to All-on-4 implant restorations, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the application is different. You don't have to blindly pursue the most expensive and superior, what is suitable is good.
The fatal drawback of movable dentures
There are also many disadvantages of movable dentures, and it is really difficult to say which one is the most deadly:
1. Low chewing efficiency
About 30% of natural teeth, many things can still be seen and can not be eaten, what sticky tough hard can only pass the eye addiction.
2. Strong foreign body feeling
Especially in the initial stage of adaptation, the words are unfavorable, not to mention eating, it takes a while to adapt.
3, the gums will be lower and lower
The gums will continue to absorb, and eventually the gums will become lower and lower, the dentures will not be stable, and it will become difficult to eat.
4. The denture is unstable
Eat slowly to eat, a little careless, dentures may be displaced, bite down, the gum bed is painful. Whether you're making a political opinion, celebrating your birthday or are in the air, dentures don't give you face, the event is active.
Of course, there are also advantages:
Cheap, wide indications, non-invasive, and some elderly people have missing teeth for a long time, the gums are seriously atrophied, and the movable dentures can support the collapsed lips and look much younger.
The advantage mentioned here also refers to the dentures you make in a regular hospital or clinic, which need to be followed up several times, and the kind that has been carefully polished by professional doctors is not a quick dental implant in the morning market or park next to the teeth on the road.
An incompetent pair of dentures will not only chew the gums and teeth will be painful, but will cause long-term repeated mouth ulcers and cheeks to also be painful, can not restore normal bite, and eventually lead to occlusal discomfort, but also the temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
Is there one?? Evolutionary upgraded dentures can perfectly solve the inconvenience caused by movable dentures?
What is All-on-4 Dental Implant?
For decades, the cost of implant treatment has deterred many patients with tooth loss. Clinicians also need to overcome a number of obstacles. Given that such patients often have severe bone atrophy, finding the sufficient amount of bone needed to implant the implant becomes a challenge.
In 1998, Nobel Biocare collaborated with Dr. Paulo Maló to find a solution, and the All-on-4 treatment concept was born. The treatment concept uses a tilted, immediate weight-bearing implant that helps avoid complex transplant procedures and provides immediate improvements in functionality and aesthetics.
And the difference between movable dentures
1. Does it compress the gums?
No. This is also a clear advantage of dental implant fixed dentures, which do not need to be removed for cleaning, are supported by implant implants rather than by mucous membranes, and do not cause discomfort like movable dentures.
2. Can others see it after the restoration of dental implants?
The boundary between the restored dentures and gums after dental implants is hidden inside the lips, so it is invisible when laughing. During the production process, the doctor will also adjust the dentures according to the laughing line to ensure that the gum smile is not too obvious due to the new dentures.
3. Is the chewing efficiency restored to high?
All-on-4 implants can transmit the bite force through the implant into the surrounding alveolar bone, rather than onto the oral mucosa like a movable denture.
This also means that you can chew your favorite food without worrying too much about whether the dentures will be able to withstand the force, all-on-4 implants are as chewable as regular implants, very close to natural teeth.
No matter which way to repair the missing tooth, be sure to fully communicate with a reliable dentist
