Missing teeth significantly alter a patient's facial appearance and chewing function, representing a potential pathological condition. Over time, this leads to alveolar ridge resorption, flattening and thinning of the oral mucosa, decreased masticatory muscle tone and elasticity, resulting in temporomandibular joint disorder pain, tongue enlargement, and other adverse changes. It also impacts patients' social lives and significantly affects their psychological well-being. Therefore, complete tooth loss should be addressed with timely restoration.
