Answer 1

Many!: Some 'recent' advances in fracture fixation and healing include:the use of locked plating in osteopenic bone, the use of bone graft substitutes instead of the pts. Own bone(demineralized bone matrix and others)to speed the healing of fractures, precontoured plates for specific fractures ... See your ors for other examples!

Answer 2

Yes: Both pregnancy and breastfeeding can cause bone loss in mother. You should get adequate calcium through your diet and if needed supplementation. You should do daily weight bearing exercises as well.

Answer 3

Yes: Both pregnancy and breast-feeding cause changes in the processing and levels of the female hormone estrogen in your body. Normal levels and cycling of this hormone regulate bone health and when these are disturbed, some loss of bone mineral (calcium) may occur. This loss is generally unimportant as it can be made up rapidly after you stop breastfeeding. Just be sure to take your supplements.

Answer 4

First and foremost: The fracture has to be immobilized by a cast or splint. That alone will make things a lot better. After that, there are pain medications to help deal with the early days following the injury. The pain will ease up considerably, long before the fracture has completely healed.

Answer 5

Yes: However, it is imperative that the periodontal disease (bone loss) be treated so that you are in good periodontal health and in a maintainable level of periodontal health. See a periodontist before beginning the orthodontic therapy. I can provide you with a local good periodontist via e-mail (dhschneid@gmail.Com).

Answer 6

Bone loss: It depends on how much bone loss and why it is occurring. Your dentist can evaluate this. You will need to also evaluated if you are loosing bone in other parts of your body. May need a bone density test depending on you age etc.

Answer 7

Absolutely: Your orthodontist will need to proceed cautiously, and it is beyond critical that you have periodontal clearance to begin orthodontic treatment. If the bone loss is being induced by mobility and trauma to the teeth, then correction of your bite could help to stabilize the situation. It will be very important for your orthodontist to minimize trauma to the teeth during treatment as well!

Answer 8

Team approach: Your mobility indicates a periodontal (bone/gum) problem. Unless your front teeth bang into each other when you chew that's rob ably not the cause of the mobility. See an Orthodontic Specialist who will diagnose your malocclusion and, with the help of a Periodontist, perhaps an Oral Surgeon, and your General Dentist, arrive at the safest, most effective treatment plan for your individual problem

Answer 9

Not natural: Sitting is not natural for a 2 mo old. Laying on a surface semi-upright is. If you sit him supporting him (like on your lap while holding him), then it is ok. I would not advise sitting him by himself on a high chair for example.

Answer 10

Better to have em: What makes bone disappear in the jaws is lack of teeth. Keeping as amany as possible and helping the rest of your mouth may help e bone stay a lot longer. Sometimes we will even file teeth level with the bone (with or w/o root canal) and then give you an over denture just to try to keep yu bone level up. The partials will also make it easier to chew food than having an empty space.

Answer 11

Yes: Partial dentures can cause bone loss in 3 ways: if they rest on the ridge, they cause it to resorb, especially if opposed by natural teeth. They also cause tooth loss by placing forces on teeth that they aren't designed for. Finally, they do so passively because you could choose dental implants which solve both of the above issues.

Answer 12

No: People loose bone after they loose teeth. So partial denture will not prevent this deteriorating process, and even can accelerate bone loss as when you chew on it - your denture will apply an additional pressure to the i delaying bone and you may loose bone faster. Dental implants will preserve bone. Being biocompatible - dental implants will stop bone loss.

Answer 13

Unlikely: As long as you have missing teeth, the bone will "melt away" wherever there is tooth loss. Furthermore, partial dentures break your existing teeth as they are held in by metal clasps that hook around your teeth. It is just a matter of time before the teeth break. Consider dental implants.

Answer 14

No: They will prevent some other problems and will help you chewing your food , but definitely the bone will keep deteriorating if teeth are absent.

Answer 15

No: No. Once teeth are lost, the supporting bone shrinks. Dental implants will prevent this.
