Losing teeth can lead to a loss of bone in the jaw, the mandibular is the lower jawbone that supports the bottom teeth. When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area can start to deteriorate over time. This is because the tooth and its root are used to stimulate the bone, helping it maintain its density. Without the tooth and root, the bone no longer receives that stimulation and can begin to shrink. Dental implants can help prevent or even reverse bone loss by replacing the missing tooth root and providing the necessary stimulation to the bone. Dentures on the other hand can accelerate bone loss by rubbing against the bone and causing irritation, this could cause the bone to recede faster. #3d #animation #teeth #dental
