Atrophy of the Alveolar Process of the Lower Jaw with Complete Prosthetics

Abstract

The paper outlines the outcomes of a clinical trial that analyzed 942 subjects aged between 45 and 89 years. The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of total tooth loss and the necessity to treat it among different age groups of adults. It has been shown that the number of patients suffering from complete loss of teeth in one or both jaws increases with age. It has been established that in the elderly and senile age, prosthetic stomatitis is more common, as well as jaws of 3-5 types of atrophy, which, due to their anatomical features, serve as a poor support for fixing and stabilizing removable dentures.
