LABORATORY INDICATORS OF EDENTIA WITH DENTAL IMPLANTATION
Adentia occurs in 40-75% of the adult population, and more than 25% of people over 80 years of age do not have a single natural tooth in their mouth. In case of secondary partial adentia, due to a violation of the integrity of the dentition during eating, the mucous membrane of the oral cavity is injured, and the remaining teeth are overloaded. Over time, tooth extraction leads to bone atrophy, which is accompanied by disruption of the supporting and homeostatic functions of bone tissue. With defects in the dentition, the anatomical and topographic proportions of the facial skeleton change, osteoporosis, atrophy of the bone, masticatory and facial muscles progress, dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint occurs, which requires restoration of the dentition.
