In fact, once the teeth are extracted, the bone that encircles them
is rapidly reabsorbed and loses its volume, thus resulting in bone shrinkage.
The roots of teeth naturally transfer the forces of chewing to the bones
of the jaw, giving them the necessary stimulation for constant maintenance.
If these roots are absent, the bone is no longer exercised and the lost
volume must be replaced either by a larger prosthesis or by a reconstruction
bone graft. This is an important factor, which must be considered in
the choice of the treatment with Dental Implants.
