can lose teeth over the course of their lifetime due to a
number of reasons; accidents, gum disease, tooth decay and
of course ageing. Tooth loss remains a major problem for the
individual both from an aesthetic and functional point of

Replacement of lost teeth |
| There
are a number of solutions to the problem of lost teeth.
Conventionally, crowns and bridges are used supported by
adjacent teeth. The disadvantages of traditional removable
full and partial dentures surround the lack of stability
they provide, patients often complain that dentures move
