Efecte ale pierderii dinților:
Masticația are loc mai mult pe partea cavității bucale unde nu este un dinte lipsă, punând o presiune mai
mare pe măselele folosite la acest proces. Astfel, acești dinți sunt mai predispuși la apariția cariilor dentare.
Afectarea gingiilor este o altă consecință a unuia sau mai mulți dinți lipsă. Astfel, există un nivel mai ridicat
de risc al apariției gingivitei și parodontozei.
Migrația dinților este una dintre cele mai neplăcute consecințe a pierderii unuia sau mai mulți dinți ori
măsele. Dinții aflați în vecinătatea dintelui pierdut nu mai au sprijin, ceea ce înseamnă că vor migra. Este
afectată masticația, iar, în timp, pot apărea pungi gingivale. În urma pierderii unui dinte au loc și pierderi
de masă osoasă importante.
Dacă unei persoane îi lipsesc mai mulți dinți, atunci pot apărea și probleme de vorbire. Acestor persoane le
poate fi greu să pronunțe anumite cuvinte. Cei care se confruntă cu această problemă pot deveni mai
irascibili, din cauză că nu se simt în largul lor.
Nu în ultimul rând, lipsa parțială a danturii poate duce la apariția unor probleme de sănătate. Astfel, din
cauza unei alimentații deficitare pot apărea probleme digestive, precum ulcerul, gastrita, indigestia, dar și
anemia.
