Anatomical and Physiological Features of the Toothless Jaw Structure that Affect the Orthopedic Treatment Process

Abstract

Prolonged absence of teeth leads to various functional and morphological disorders. The nature of the load on periodontal tissues is changing, the bioelectric activity of the chewing muscles is decreasing, and a new type of chewing is emerging. This chakra - in the lower jaw and maxillofacial system - forms atrophic changes in bone tissue. The upper jaw is dominated by atrophy of the vestibular surface, in which there is a large atrophy on the surface of the tongue in the lower jaw.
