1. Replacement of missing teeth

2. What is teeth
One of a set of hard, bonelike structures rooted in sockets in the jaws
of vertebrates, typically composed of a core of soft pulp surrounded by
a layer of hard dentin that is coated with cementum or enamel at the
crown and used for biting or chewing food or as a means of attack or
defense.

3. What is tooth loss
Tooth loss is a process in which one or more teeth come loose and fall
out. Tooth loss is normal for deciduous teeth (baby teeth), when they
are replaced by a person's adult teeth. Otherwise, losing teeth is
undesirable and is the result of injury or disease, such as mouth
trauma, tooth injury, tooth decay, and gum disease. The condition of
being toothless or missing one or more teeth is called edentulism.

4. There are three basic ways to replace a missing tooth or teeth,
including a fixed dental bridge, dentures, and dental implants.

5. There are three main types of dental bridges:
Traditional bridges ­ involve creating a crown for the tooth or
implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between.
Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are made
of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.
Cantilever bridges ­ are used when there are adjacent teeth on only
one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
Maryland bonded bridges ­ (also called a resin­bonded bridge or a
Maryland bridge) are made of plastic teeth and gums supported by a
metal framework. Metal wings on each side of the bridge are bonded
to your existing teeth.

6. There are two main types of dental implants:
Endosteal implants — these are surgically implanted directly into the
jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second
surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an
artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post­individually, or
grouped on a bridge or denture.
Subperiosteal implants — these consist of a metal frame that is fitted
onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the
frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the
frame, protrude through the gums. As with endosteal implants,
artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.
