Abstract :
Following natural tooth extraction, bone resorption initiates, particularly affecting the mandible more than the maxilla, with denture wear exacerbating this process. Nutritional deficiencies, systemic bone diseases like osteoporosis, and endocrine dysfunction can further accelerate bone loss. A comprehensive medical history and physical assessment are imperative prior to preprosthetic surgical intervention. Surgical intervention may be contraindicated in the presence of significant general illnesses. Special consideration should be given to laboratory tests assessing bone resorption extent. Success in removable prosthesis treatment hinges on the convergence of multiple factors, with one pivotal aspect being treatment success.
