CHICAGO, March 31, 2016 -- Prosthodontists from the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) believe that healthy people have healthy mouths. Individuals can have a healthy mouth even if they are missing teeth – a common problem.
Problem: Today, more than 120 million Americans are missing one or more teeth. Plus, 36 million Americans are missing all of their teeth in one or both jaws.
A recent Journal of Prosthodontics article in the January 2016 Issue by Dr. David A. Felton, titled "Complete Edentulism and Comorbid Diseases: An Update," cites dozens of studies where people missing most of their teeth experience bad health outcomes.
Once a patient has replaced and restored teeth, how should patients take care of them to keep them in tip-top shape?
Solution: ACP Releases the 1st Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) for Restored Teeth – Prosthodontists offer "six pearls of wisdom" to care for restored teeth (see infographic) at home and for life backed by science.
End Result: Restored teeth taken care of properly at home and throughout one's life last longer, and aren't as likely to fall out or pop off, so a patient's investment in getting a healthy mouth, with beautiful teeth restored to their natural appearance, strength, and function, are more likely to last longer, and look gorgeous. Before the CPGs, oral health providers anecdotally understood what worked to care for restored teeth. Now Prosthodontists know and recommend scientifically proven at-home and lifelong care options.
Patients and oral health providers: The American College of Prosthodontists is offering FREE access to this research and more from the Journal of Prosthodontics in honor of National Prosthodontics Awareness Week April 3-9, 2016. Access the free links below.
