Synopsis:
The goal of modern dentistry is to return patients to normal function, esthetics, speech and health. The completely edentulous patient is more in need than any other patient. Yet, less than 3% of a dentists’ time is spent treating this section of the population.

There are 30 million people in the USDA that are missing some of their teeth in at least one dental study and 20 million people have no teeth at all. Once the teeth are lost, not only are function, speech and health reduced, there is loss of bone. The bone loss after tooth loss may be more than 20 mm in height of bone in each haw. As a consequence, facial esthetics is severely compromised.

Dental implants stimulate bone and prevent the gross bone loss after tooth loss. As a result, facial esthetics is maintained, since muscle attachments are not affected and atrophy of bone and muscle does not occur. Hence, dental implants not only return a patient to normal function and improved speech, dental and facial esthetics are vastly improved as a result of dental implants in the complete edentulous patient.

This program reviews the benefits of implant treatment for edentulous patients. The dental team should be aware of the consequences of complete tooth loss and the benefits of dental implants.


Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
  • Understand and explain the effects of complete edentulism as they relate to aging population.
  • Learn the esthetic consequences of bone loss in the jaws.

Dr Misch is an authority on the subject and gets you thinking regarding what kind of dentistry you want to practice. If duty of care is at the heart of our profession, then I think sooner rather than later many more of us will take the path taken by clinicians like Dr Doyon. As has been said, 'Perpetual preservation of what remains is more important than meticulous replacement of what is lost.' If we cannot extend the life span of a tooth then early replacement by an implant must be considered. The evidence base for such a discussion with the patient is provided. Thank you very much Dr Misch.
