Restoring Function After Molar Loss with Neobiotech Implants
Patients Who Lose Molars for a Long Time Tend to Overuse Their Front Teeth
When molars are missing for an extended period, patients often use their front teeth for chewing. This leads to issues where the front teeth (not designed for heavy chewing) are subjected to excessive force, causing wear. In some cases, the teeth wear down to the pulp, or even break entirely.
Restorative treatment must address both areas simultaneously. Typically, molars are restored first, followed by the repair of the front teeth.
In this example case, the front teeth have been heavily overused, wearing down nearly half their structure.
**Treatment Plan:**
1. **Molars**: Dental implants were placed in the molar region, with the occlusion (bite) and vertical dimension reset.
2. **Front Teeth**: Root canal treatment (RCT) was performed on the natural teeth, followed by the placement of posts, crowns, and veneers.
**Implants Used: Neobiotech**
