Some factors connected with alveolar bone resorption.

W Kalk, C de Baat

    Journal of Dentistry
    |August 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Longer edentulous periods and more dentures worn correlate with increased alveolar bone resorption, especially in the lower jaw. Continuous denture wear did not show a significant link to bone loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Prosthodontics

    Background:

    • Alveolar bone resorption is a common consequence of tooth loss and wearing dentures.
    • Understanding factors influencing resorption is crucial for denture longevity and patient well-being.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between alveolar bone resorption and patient age, duration of edentulousness, number of dentures worn, and continuous denture wear.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 92 edentulous patients treated with complete dentures was studied.
    • Data on patient demographics and denture history were collected via questionnaire.
    • A novel classification system was used to categorize alveolar bone resorption levels.

    Main Results:

    • Significant positive correlations were found between the duration of edentulousness and the number of dentures worn with increased alveolar bone resorption.
    • Alveolar bone resorption was particularly pronounced in the lower jaw.
    • No significant correlation was observed between alveolar bone resorption and wearing dentures day and night.

    Conclusions:

    • Prolonged edentulous periods and extensive denture use are associated with greater alveolar bone loss.
    • The findings highlight the importance of considering patient history in managing complete denture wear and potential bone resorption.
