Opis

The goal of modern dentistry is to restore the patient's normal contour, function, comfort, aesthetics, speech and health, regardless of the atrophy, disease, or injury of the stomatognathic system. In many phases of prosthetic dentistry, healthy alveolar bone with normal regenerative capacity is essential for a successful treatment outcome. Residual ridge resorption is widely recognized as one of the most important factors affecting denture support, retention, stability, and masticatory function in edentulous patients. Maintenance of crestal bone level is crucial for the success of implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation.
