Regional Teeth Deficiency
In cases where there is more than one missing tooth, the first treatment option that should come to mind should be implant applications. Regional tooth deficiencies can be easily treated by applying implants to appropriate places and connecting these implants with porcelain or zirconium bridges. With these treatments, which offer the chance of fixed prosthesis, it is possible to reach the closest solution to natural teeth.
Regional tooth deficiency cases are quite different from single tooth missing and complete tooth deficiency cases in terms of aesthetics and biomechanics. While planning the case, the number of implants, the size of the selected implants and their placement are as important as the condition of the natural teeth in the mouth. By evaluating and treating the problems that can be seen in the existing teeth, the problems that may occur in the implants in the future are also prevented.
In these cases where there is loss of two or more teeth, aesthetic and functional problems arise. Therefore, it has become almost mandatory to fill the gap by treatment.
In classical methods, such multiple tooth losses are rehabilitated with long bridges if there are teeth in front of and behind the gap. However, in this type of crown-bridge prosthesis applications, complications such as broken bridges or premature loss of support teeth are often encountered.
Regional tooth deficiency cases where there is no tooth at the end of the gap can be treated with removable removable dentures. While these removable prostheses rehabilitate the chewing function of the person, they require the sacrifice of phonation (correct vocalization) and aesthetics. In addition, due to the difficulty of using it, it can affect the patients psychologically and cause them to lose their self-confidence.
