There are defects included – with preserved teeth on both sides and end, when the defect is limited only on the front side. The clinic also depends on the type of bite, the condition of the teeth and periodontal, the cause of tooth loss, the timing of their loss and the age of the patient.

Treatment of Dental defects

When included defects in the dentition and healthy periodontal disease - replacement of bridges. One-and two-sided end defects of the dental rows are replaced with removable, preferably byugel (arc) prostheses.

Rational prosthetics ensure the restoration of the function of chewing, speech and preservation of the remaining teeth. Without restoration of lost teeth, secondary deformities of the dentition are formed, periodontal disease is affected, and the temporomandibular joint may be affected. With incorrect prosthetics-premature loss of supporting teeth.
