Severe Mandibular Bone ResorptionProsthodontic Bone Loss SyndromeLong term denture wearers run the risk of losing significant amounts of jawbone height and density, in both the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) jaws.
The mandible, lower jaw, usually takes the brunt of the common physical forces of biting, chewing and eating.The denture prosthesis typically rests on gum tissue which can eventually wear away, depending upon how often a denture patient has dental check ups and has the dentures relined. Frequent relining provides an extra cushion that slows down the wear on gum tissue. Since non implant supported dentures rest on the gingiva - gum tissue, there is no direct stimulation of the jawbone. Implant supported dentures... and even the mini-implant retained dentures to some degree, offer the healthful benefit of bone stimulation which is critical for maintaining some degree of healthy bone.
Despite numerous advances in denture prosthodontics, many long term denture wearers are reaching the point where their mandibles no longer have sufficient bone height and/or gum tissue to adquately support a serviceable denture. In many instances the opportunity to convert to mini implants (require less bone mass) or traditional implants is not available. It has been our experience that some patients are now being advised by denture clinics and denturists that they are no longer a candidate for dentures. Others have discovered they can no longer use their present denture due to poor fit, denture pain or generalized jaw pain. Advanced Diagnostic and Tissue Regeneration TechnologiesDr. Marinic, as an active reconstructive dentist who focuses on a variety of leading edge tooth replacement and full arch rehabilitation treatment solutions, routinely invests time, resources and effort to provide his patients access to some of the newest and proven advances in dentistry.
When Plasma Rich Proteins (PRP) were proven to enhance and accelerate tissue regeneration, Dr. Marinic soon acquired his own PRP centrifuge to create the proteins for patients undergoing implant and grafting surgeries.This same principle applies to reasoning behind multiple investments in other technologies that conserve tissue health or limit the invasive nature of even the simplest procedure, including even routine tooth extractions. The more recent acquisition of our own 3-D Cone Beam Imaging equipment that rivals the accuracy of hospital grade equipment enables a level of diagnostic accuracy that wasn't possible just a few years ago. Dr. Marinic's immediate access to technologies can provide, for some denture or edentulated patients, a new opportunity to have cumulative grafting treatments that can rebuild missing tissues.
Cumulative Bone Grafting?Becoming a CandidateDiagnostics is the starting point. 3-D Imaging equipment and specialized software used by implant surgeons can assess bone quality and density with unsurpassed accuracy and clarity.
Patients who have been advised they may become or remain toothless with little indication of successful treatment intervention are encouraged to contact us for a Complimentary 3-D Scan and analysis to learn and see, first hand (and perhaps for the first time) the current health of their jawbones. The mystery of what is possible and what isn't possible provides and excellent, clear choice of several options. Call us now at (847) 475-8700 to arrange a Comprehensive Consult ... or use our on-line Consult Request form.
