The jawbone that supports the teeth forms the basis of a healthy oral structure. However, the jawbone may lose volume and density due to various reasons. This condition is called jawbone resorption and can lead to serious aesthetic and functional problems when left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jawbone resorption, medically known as alveolar bone loss, is the weakening of bone tissue over time. The jawbone is constantly stimulated by chewing forces from the teeth; when this stimulus disappears, the bone begins to resorb. Ber Dental Clinic provides services with advanced imaging methods for the early diagnosis of this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does jaw bone resorption occur?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common cause of jawbone resorption is tooth loss, but different factors can also trigger this process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tooth Loss<\/strong> Since the chewing force stops in the area of the lost tooth, the bone melts over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gum Diseases:<\/strong> Advanced periodontitis directly damages the bone tissue surrounding the tooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incompatible Prosthesis Use:<\/strong> Prostheses that do not provide sufficient and balanced stimulation to the jawbone can lead to melting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Traumas<\/strong> Impacts to the jaw area can disrupt the bone structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Systemic Diseases:<\/strong> Osteoporosis, diabetes and hormonal disorders can adversely affect bone density.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms and Diagnosis of Jawbone Resorption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The disease usually progresses slowly, so it is important to follow the symptoms. The most common symptoms are loose teeth, receding gums, shrinkage of the jaw structure, changes in facial shape and incompatibility of prostheses with the mouth. When these conditions are noticed, a specialist physician should be consulted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following methods are used in the diagnostic process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Panoramic X-ray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bone volume analysis by dental tomography (CBCT)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clinical periodontal examination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is jaw bone resorption treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment process is planned individually according to the level and cause of bone loss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gum Treatments:<\/strong> If the cause is infection, the disease is controlled by procedures such as curettage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bone Graft (Bone Powder):<\/strong> Bone tissue is regained in areas with insufficient bone volume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Implant Treatment:<\/strong> It is the most effective way to stop bone loss; implants transmit force to the jawbone and slow down the resorption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sinus Lifting:<\/strong> If the bone height in the maxilla is insufficient, the appropriate volume for the implant is created surgically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aesthetic Dentistry Experience for Foreign Patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Turkey is a world-class centre in the field of aesthetic dentistry, which requires advanced surgical applications such as bone grafting and implant treatments. Modern clinical infrastructure and cost-effective advantages are the biggest factors for foreign patients to prefer Turkey. Ber Dental Clinic carries out bone treatment processes for patients from abroad in a planned, safe and comfortable manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion and Prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaw bone resorption can be prevented to a great extent. Tooth loss should be treated without delay, oral hygiene should be taken care of and regular controls should not be disrupted. When left untreated, this condition, which causes deterioration of facial aesthetics and makes implantation difficult, can be taken under control with the right intervention. Ber Dental Clinic aims to provide its patients with a healthy oral structure by offering scientific and permanent solutions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u011f\u0131z ve di\u015f sa\u011fl\u0131\u011f\u0131 yaln\u0131zca di\u015flerden ibaret de\u011fildir.
