Alveolar atrophy - Lapointe dental centres

Alveolar atrophy is a retrogression of the height of the bone section of the jaw. These morphological changes occur when one or more teeth are missing. During mastication or when opposing teeth come in contact with each other, a stimulation caused by microscopic movements occurs, allowing the bone to maintain its height, thus preserving the periodontal health. Alveolar atrophy brings about a series of harmful consequences at the level of the face as well as the roof of the mouth. The loss of bone stability also results in the degeneration from several angles of the jawbone. This succession of changes accelerates the aging of the face resulting in the collapse of bone structure in the nasal-buccal folds. Consequently, if a solution is suggested by your dentist to avoid the loss of one or more teeth, it would be preferable to follow his or her advice since the consequences of extraction can reach several levels and this intervention is irreversible.
