METHODS OF APPLICATION OF SINGLE-STAGE DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR DIFFERENT DEGREES OF ALVEOLAR ATROPHY

Abstract

The function and condition of the oral organs are closely connected with other systems of the human body, and tooth loss is one of the most common pathological conditions and affects not only the function of mastication and work of the whole jaw system. Missing teeth impair a vital function in chewing, which affects digestive processes and causes other diseases. Dental, periodontal and oral mucosal health has been linked to the condition of other parts of the gastrointestinal tract as well as other body systems (motor, cardiovascular, endocrine), higher nervous activity, infections and cancers, sleep quality, obesity and general defences. Oral health is regarded by scientists as a useful marker of general health and healthy ageing. In the absence of teeth, the structural, functional and aesthetic balance of the maxillofacial region and many body systems is disturbed, leading to social consequences and a reduced quality of life for the individual.
