Multiple Tooth Loss

Tooth loss could occur because of dental caries, periodontal diseases, trauma, cancer, infections, and failed endodontic treatments. This loss can present adverse effects on the remaining dentition and general wellbeing of the patient. Soon after the loss of teeth, the surrounding bone will resorb and shrink because of a lack of stimulation. With time the jaw bone becomes thinner and shrinks in the size and limits the options for tooth replacement.

When a tooth is missing or multiple teeth are missing, it causes the adjacent tooth or teeth to drift in the empty space and it will lead to supra-eruption of the opposing teeth which means that the tooth will erupt above its intended position had there been a tooth present. This happens because now the remaining teeth have no support which the lost teeth and bone once provided. Now, the entire force and functions are concentrated on the teeth remaining, this causes an overload and weakens the rest of the dentition. This invites the possibility of even greater tooth loss. This means that the entire dentition will disrupt and ultimately cause the patient their smile, ability to chew properly and impairment with speech. This leads to mental stress, lack of confidence, hesitation in smiling and talking with people. This impacts the social life of that individual.

The amount of bone loss and drifting varies vastly from person to person. It depends on various factors which include which teeth are missing, age, medical status of the patient, and maintenance of oral hygiene to quote a few.

Due to continuous drifting and eruption of teeth accompanied by a difficulty in maintaining optimal oral hygiene, the risk of periodontal diseases comes into account. The gums recede, tooth decay becomes predominant, teeth become sensitive to hot and cold temperatures which lead to pain and discomfort and eventually additional tooth loss.

Loss of multiple teeth affects mastication that is the process of chewing to a great extent. People facing such a situation often have to limit their dietary options due to ineffective mastication. Multiple tooth loss also alters and impairs the quality of speech, severely affects the confidence of an individual. It is generally seen that individuals facing such a problem often alienate themselves and even face depression.

Significant bone loss does limit the options of tooth replacement but newer technologies and the introduction of Basal Implants have been known to show promising results even in case of severe bone loss.
