Study Notes
- Replacement of lost molars can lead to periodontal disease.
- Healthy occlusion depends on various factors such as remaining teeth, age, and adaptive capacity.
- Chewing capacity and efficiency are correlated to occluding units.
- Patients with extremely shortened arches tend to chew anteriorly.
- Patients prefer symmetrical and at least 4 occluding units.
- Shortened dental arches (SDA) can be a viable treatment option for certain cases.
- SDA is indicated for caries and perio confined to posterior teeth, favorable prognosis of anterior and premolar teeth, and limited financial resources.
- SDA is contraindicated for poor-prognosis remaining dentition, preexisting TMJ dysfunction, pathological toothwear, and severe dento-alveolar discrepancy.
- Viable treatment options for molar loss include preserving/restoring premolar occlusion, fixed restoration, RPD, and implants.
- Careful planning and assessment are required for selecting the appropriate treatment option.
