DENTAL IMPLANTS OFFERNUMEROUS OPTIONS Prosthetics need not be Conventional partial and full prosthetics are often regarded as being foreign objects. In many cases, they lead to pressure sores and limit the perception of taste, touch and temperature. Add to this the feeling of insecurity during social contacts. Necessary and recurrent adaptation of the prosthetics are the consequence. Single-tooth replacement In single-tooth replacements, one of the advantages of dental implants is that the neighboring teeth are not affected. With implant restorations, they are neither damaged nor ground down as is the case with conventional bridges. The valuable natural tooth substance of the neighboring teeth is preserved. See figure 1. Large tooth gap Fixed dental prostheses can be installed with the aid of dental implants when restoring larger tooth gaps or when all posterior teeth are missing. Without implants, dental technicians can only fabricate removeable prostheses. See figure 2. Edentulous jaws Implants can be used to stabilize removable prostheses in the mouth in case of edentulous jaws. This improves wearing comfort as the implant-supported prosthesis is fixed securely. See figure 3.
