Edentulism (Lack of tooth)
Missing teeth can be treated with implants or bridges with BOPT crowns. The shape of implants and prepared teeth should be primarily related to its intended function. The loss of a tooth not only causes an esthetic alteration, but also a functional disorder and migration of adjacent teeth. In some cases little bone in the maxilla, advanced techniques as pterygoid implants or zygomatic implants are useful.
