Molars are essential in the function of eating and proper nutrition absorption. We can only imagine how hard it is to eat without molars, or having to miss out of certain foods due to the lack of the most powerful teeth that helps us chew.
The first time Mr. Kim came to my office is 6 years ago. Due to severe bone resorption in the entire jawbone, it was recommended that he maintain full-mouth periodontal care and undergo implant restoration as soon as possible to restore occlusal function and reduce further bone loss. However, due to personal reasons, he delayed the treatment, resulting in the loss of all upper molars. Ultimately, it was decided to proceed with implant restoration. The current surgical difficulty is significantly greater than it was six years ago, as there is even less bone to work with and periodontitis has been occurring. With the team’s cooperation, the single-stage implant surgery was successfully completed. We hope to proceed with the second-stage surgery soon to restore his chewing function as early as possible.
