Role of Implants in Dentistry
Tooth loss is one of the most common disabilities affecting mankind, and is a consequence of dental diseases, tumors of the orofacial region and trauma. Missing teeth may also occur because of agenesis.
The extent of missing teeth can vary, from single teeth in the anterior region of the jaws, single teeth in posterior segments, extended edentulous spaces and edentulism. This may result in functional, esthetic and phonetic impairment for the individual concerned.
