Abstract
Nowadays, a large number of people can be found with missing teeth who don’t know the consequences of empty space between their teeth. This lack of awareness leads to the destruction of other teeth, increased therapeutic costs and longer treatment duration. A dental implant is a new therapeutic approach that can be used for replacing the missing teeth. Prior to implant technology, dental bridge was used as the best treatment plan, and infact the traditional and old form of treatment has become a new method for replacing missing teeth. In this clinical research, I have tried to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of both methods. Choosing a correct and accurate treatment plan for the patients can be a success factor in the treatment. Both treatment plans are used as alternative for the missing teeth and can vary according to some of the parameters including the patient-specific treatment plan, financial aspect, the appearance of teeth and the comfort care.
