ABSTRACT

Tooth Loss in Modern Dentistry Abstract. The Swiss population follows the trend of other industrialized countries and shows an increased life expectancy compared to previous generations. Old age is reached increasingly with one's own teeth. Older restorations of teeth must be replaced and produced anew. Previous reconstructions often have the disadvantage that they are invasive and reinterventions or new fabrications are only possible to a limited extent. Advances in material technology allow new minimally invasive therapies. Adhesive bridges have become possible due to material developments in material science and allow aesthetic, non-invasive, long-term stable solutions. The specialist dentist SSO for Reconstructive Dentistry is the expert for the rehabilitation of teeth after tooth loss. He takes care of the careful restoration of the teeth according to functional and aesthetic criteria and draws on a sound knowledge of therapy options, techniques and materials acquired in many years of additional training.
