Statement of problemComplete, fixed partial, removable partial, and implant-supported dentures have been used to comfortably and esthetically replace missing teeth. However, it is not certain what effect these prostheses have on the residual ridge.PurposeThis article compares various prosthetic treatments to restore completely and partially edentulous mouths for their ability to preserve residual alveolar bone.Material and methodsA review of the literature was performed to discuss the effect of tooth replacement on residual alveolar bone.ResultsThe literature seems to indicate that the presence of a dental prosthesis affects the size and form of the residual alveolar ridge and bone.ConclusionAn implant-supported fixed prosthesis to restore missing teeth in partially or completely edentulous jaws seems to be the best means of preserving residual alveolar bone.
