What is losing molars?

Losing molars refers to the condition of missing teeth in the lower or upper jaw. This is a common condition in adults, especially the elderly. According to statistics, around 20-30% of the population over 65 has lost all or part of their molars.

The main causes leading to losing molars are diseases such as cavities, gum inflammation, trauma. In addition, age, poor oral hygiene also make teeth more prone to loosening and falling out.

 

Causes of losing molars

There are many causes of losing teeth in the jaw, specifically:

• Cavities: Cavities damage and destroy the tooth structure, making teeth prone to falling out.

• Gum inflammation: Chronic gum inflammation causes teeth to become loose and eventually fall out.

• Accidents or trauma: Accidents such as collisions, falls can lead to broken, fractured molars.

• Diseases of the jawbone: Some diseases of the jawbone such as osteoporosis, bone tumors also affect the teeth.

• Age: When old, the tooth socket structure becomes loose, and teeth are prone to loosening and falling out.

• Poor oral hygiene: Not brushing properly, lack of using dental floss causes plaque to stick to teeth, damaging teeth and gums.

The harms of losing molars

Losing molars causes many serious functional and aesthetic harms to patients:

• Affects the ability to chew, speak, swallow: Missing teeth hinders chewing, swallowing food. Patients also have difficulty pronouncing.

• Causes jawbone atrophy: When missing teeth, the jawbone atrophies due to lack of chewing pressure.

• Facial aesthetics are lost: When missing teeth, the face becomes crooked, unbalanced, aged.

• Affects remaining teeth: Teeth next to the missing tooth position are prone to loosening or shifting.

• Increased risk of disease: Poor chewing ability increases the risk of digestive and cardiovascular diseases.

Therefore, if you find missing teeth, you need to see a dentist for timely examination and treatment to limit the harms.

Safe and effective solutions for missing molars

Dental crowns

Dental crowns are a commonly used method to replace missing teeth. The dentist will use high-quality porcelain material to create an aesthetic, durable artificial tooth to replace the missing one.

The advantages of this method are minimally invasive, short treatment time, and affordable cost. The porcelain also has high durability, natural coloration, helping to restore aesthetics to the set of teeth.

However, dental crowns are only bonded to the remaining teeth and not directly grafted to the bone. Therefore, crowns can become loose or fall out if the teeth are not well cared for.

Dental bridges

Dental bridges use a small metal frame to connect the missing tooth to the intact adjacent tooth. The metal frame is tightly attached to the remaining teeth, helping to firmly fix the prosthetic tooth.

The advantages of bridges are good stability, effectively restoring eating function. However, the bridge process is quite complex and time-consuming. The cost is also higher compared to dental crowns.

Dental implants

Implants are considered the most modern and ideal method to replace missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts directly grafted into the jawbone to replace the original tooth. Afterwards, the dentist will place the prosthetic tooth on the implant post.

Implants allow the prosthetic tooth to be firmly fixed like a real tooth. Patients can use them long-term without concern of the tooth becoming loose or falling out. However, the cost of implant treatment is quite expensive.

Full dentures

For cases of multiple missing teeth, full dentures can be used. Full dentures cover the entire upper or lower arch to replace all missing teeth.

Full dentures help perfectly restore chewing function and aesthetics of the tooth set. However, users need to pay attention to regularly cleaning the dentures to prevent bad breath and bacteria accumulation.
