CLASSIFICATION OF ORAL DISEASES WITH COMPLETE ABSENCE OF TEETH

Abstract

Restoring chewing function with various types of prostheses in case of partial loss of teeth remains an important task in orthopedic dentistry. The presence of defects in the dental arch leads to a violation of the integrity of the dentition and the appearance of morphofunctional changes in the dentoalveolar system, occurring first near the defect and then spreading to the entire dentition. This leads to vertical movement and inclination of teeth that limit the defect, devoid of antagonists, as well as to overload of the remaining teeth, disruption of occlusion, and changes in the mandibular joint.
