Chewing affects the whole body! The disruption of the chewing unit, even with the loss of a single tooth, can trigger a wide range of pathological processes! In addition to localised problems, such as displacement of the missing tooth, collapse of adjacent and opposing teeth, and atrophy of bone, other adverse effects can occur! If the chewing balance is upset, the jaw joint can become overloaded, inflammation and wear can develop, which can cause severe pain in the jaw! If we can't chew our food properly, digestive problems can develop! These problems can lead to a permanent deterioration in the quality of life, which can also have a negative impact on the patient's mental state! If the lack of teeth affects the frontal area, it can cause socialisation problems in addition to aesthetic problems!
