Last Updated: 2024/11/24, The World Health Organization has a "8020" standard for oral health of the elderly, that is, 80-year-olds should have at least 20 teeth that are normally chewed and not loose. But actually.

The World Health Organization has a "8020" standard for oral health of the elderly, that is, 80-year-olds should have at least 20 teeth that are normally chewed and not loose. But in fact, there are very few elderly people who can meet this standard, and the tooth loss of young and middle-aged people is also worrying. "lose your teeth before you get old" has become an embarrassment for more and more people.

The causes of tooth loss are mainly shown in the following aspects:

Periodontal disease: after suffering from periodontal disease, periodontal tissue is gradually destroyed, gingival sulcus deepens, periodontal pocket is formed, alveolar bone is absorbed, teeth are loosened, fallen off or removed.

Trauma: both anterior and posterior teeth can be broken or lost due to injury. Severe trauma can also be accompanied by defects of jaw, alveolar bone and soft tissue.

Dental caries: dental caries are common and frequently-occurring diseases in the oral cavity. When suffering from dental caries, the destruction of teeth changes from shallow to deep. if it is not treated in time, the hard tissue of teeth will be destroyed continuously, resulting in pulpitis and periapical periodontitis, resulting in crown defect and becoming residual crown or residual root.

These unexpected collisions, periodontal disease, dental caries and many other factors lead to tooth loss in young people.

Many young people with missing teeth develop a procrastination of missing teeth because of busy work, green study, fear of dental implants, difficulty in choosing dental implant techniques, and so on. It was not until the teeth dragged to the side began to loose and move that they were in a hurry to plant teeth.

Delun oral experts pointed out: "if the missing teeth are not filled for a long time, the alveolar bone in the missing tooth area will gradually atrophy and the missing tooth space will become smaller without physiological mastication stimulation. In serious cases, it will cause the side teeth to loosen and fall off." and the atrophy of the dentine bone makes it more difficult to implant. " The missing teeth should be planted in time, and don't wait for the deterioration to regret it.
