In these cases, should be replaced, under the risk of harming their health. The continuous use of an inadequate or poorly adjusted dentures can damage the lining and lead to a malignancy (cancer) due to constant contact in the soft tissues of the mouth. The alert is the master and specialist in periodontics, Clarindo Mitiyoshi. He is a member of the European Academy and coordinator of the course of specialization in dental implant of the Association of Surgeons Paulista-Dentists - Section Jardim Paulista (APCD).

Mitiyoshi explains that over the years, the human being presents bone. That is, the bones on which the dental prosthesis was shaped decrease naturally. This change may leave the prosthesis unstable.

According to the expert, the caries is primarily responsible for the loss dental. Even in adulthood, the greater prevalence of periodontal disease, which affects the gums. Young people can also develop severe periodontal problems, so Mitiyoshi highlights the importance of regular visits to the dentist for the early diagnosis of the disease.

Treatment: among the options for treatment of oral rehabilitation for cases of edentulism (no teeth) are the prosthesis total (dentures) and fixed on prosthetic implant. The prosthesis on fixed implant, in the opinion of Mitiyoshi, is the definitive solution because it offers greater stability and security for the patient chew, smile and talk, recovering their self-esteem and promoting its social coexistence.

The dental industry is constantly evolving and there are various techniques and implants available for oral rehabilitation. Depending on the clinical evaluation, treatment may involve the use of bone graft and last up to six months to complete. When the clinical indication is favourable, it is possible to place the dental implant in up to one hour, without the need for bone graft. According to Mitiyoshi, now you can replace any type of prosthetic dental implant system by mouth. "Only those who want to use dentures," says.
