The elder’s teeth are broken and it is difficult to chew. During the Double Ninth Festival, respect the elderly and treat them with care

[NOW Health Media Yang Gefei/Taoyuan Report] 2015.10.19

　　Good news for dental implants for the elderly! The new one-day full-mouth reconstruction, commonly known as "All-on-4", only requires 4 to 6 dental implants in the upper and lower jaws to install fixed dentures. However, it is still recommended that the elderly should undergo a general health examination to ensure that the surgery and anesthesia process are worry-free before proceeding with relevant treatments.

　　Respect the elderly during the Double Ninth Festival, giving your elders good teeth is affordable and considerate! Dentists point out that it is inconvenient for the elderly to eat when wearing removable dentures. Only by switching to fixed dentures can they enjoy food more fully. The new one-day full-mouth reconstruction treatment, combined with CT scan and TCI, eliminates the need for dental implants one by one. You can easily have durable fixed dentures in just one day.

　　Modern dentist Dr. Liang Jiayuan said that traditional installation of fixed dentures takes a long time and may require bone filling. The new one-day full-mouth reconstruction, commonly known as "All-on-4", only requires 4 to 6 dental implants in the upper and lower jaws to install fixed dentures. The dental implants are placed in positions where the dental bone is in good condition, saving time spent waiting for bone replacement.

　　Clinical studies have shown that people who have installed full-mouth removable dentures, or whose remaining teeth are in poor health after wearing removable dentures, as well as those who have severe periodontal disease and have all their teeth crumbling, are suitable for full-mouth reconstruction in one day. Taking full-mouth removable dentures as an example, it is difficult to completely secure them. During repeated removal and removal, the periodontal periodontal of the remaining teeth is easily damaged, making the removable dentures easier to slide. The elderly often have to "eat the soft teeth rather than the hard ones." In this case, you may wish to consider changing to fixed dentures.

　　As for the elderly with severe missing teeth, if they want to install fixed dentures, traditional methods require many dental implants, complicated surgical procedures, and long treatment time. If combined with bone repair, it will take at least 3 months. Depending on the individual tooth condition and combined with other treatments, the treatment time will be even longer and needs to be carried out in stages and cannot be completed at one time.

　　In comparison, it takes only one day for full mouth reconstruction to successfully install fixed dentures, which is quick and convenient. It is worth noting that if the condition of the dental bone is really poor, it is still recommended to use the traditional method. It is ideal to wait for the dental bone foundation to be strengthened and then reconstruct it step by step.

　　Dr. Liang Jiayuan pointed out that the one-day full-mouth reconstruction first uses a CT scan to generate a 3D positioning map to accurately identify the position of the sinus tissue, nerves and blood vessels, and find the correct position of the dental implant. If the implantation position is incorrect, it may damage nerves and blood vessels, leaving adverse sequelae such as facial paralysis. If the position of the implant in the upper jaw is deviated and inserted into the sinus cavity, it may easily cause postoperative infection. If the implant accidentally falls into the sinus cavity, it will need to be removed by another surgery.

　　Elderly people who are afraid of dental visits may wish to consider TCI, which uses intravenous infusion of anesthesia to put patients into a state of light sleep, allowing them to undergo surgery in a relaxed and stress-free state. There is also little impression of the surgical process after the surgery, which can assist in full mouth reconstruction in one day. However, the physical conditions of the elderly vary, so whether to accept ShuMian Dentist should first be evaluated by a specialized anesthesiologist.

　　One-day full-mouth reconstruction is a major surgical procedure that requires many preoperative evaluations and is performed by a dedicated medical team. Can the elderly person’s body bear the burden of a full mouth reconstruction treatment in one day? Dr. Liang Jiayuan reminded that it is recommended that the elderly undergo a general health check to ensure that there are no worries during the surgery and anesthesia before proceeding with relevant treatments.
