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.
