One tooth missing

Missing a tooth is a problem that affects many people. It can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as trauma/accident, decay, periodontal disease, trauma or failed treatment (such as root canal). A missing tooth can lead to serious health consequences, such as realignment of the remaining teeth (which lean toward the gap). Losing a tooth (especially a front tooth) also has a huge psychological aspect causing loss of self-confidence, embarrassment, shame, great difficulty in interpersonal relations, speaking, doing work, and eating.

The most common cause of tooth loss is dental trauma, such as fractures or dislocations. In such cases, immediate treatment is necessary to prevent bone loss. One of the most effective methods of treating a missing tooth is implantology. An implant is an artificial root that is implanted into the bone, in place of the lost tooth, and then a crown, or new teeth, is mounted on it (in the case of front teeth, the crown is mounted immediately after the implant is inserted — at the same visit!). The sooner implantation occurs after the injury, the better the chances of successful treatment. Implants are a very durable solution while giving a natural feel, replicating natural teeth in shape and function. In addition, they do not require grinding the teeth adjacent to the gap, as is the case with bridges. This fact makes implants the recommended treatment for single missing teeth. Scientific studies confirm that tooth implants are very effective for single missing tooth.

Caries is also one of the common causes of missing tooth. It is caused by bacteria that break down sugars and cause acids to form. The acidic environment promotes demineralization of the enamel, leading to cavities and tooth loss. Periodontal diseases, such as periodontitis or periodontal disease, can also lead to tooth loss. In the case of periodontal disease, bacteria and tartar weaken the gums, leading to the loss of tooth attachment.
