Q.
Hello Doctor. I have this problem. I’ve been diagnosed with severe periodontal disease 2 years ago. I did periodontal surgery 1 month ago and they pulled me out 12 teeth because they were damaged from the disease. I’m 27 years old. According to the doctors I’ve lost too much bone from the disease, maybe 40-50% in the lower jaw. Am I still a good candidate for implants?!Will the bone grafting be needed for my jawbone in order to get the implants done?! In case I decide to put implants after 3-4 years, will I be still a candidate for them? Thanks Also, I’m trying to decide which kind of partial dentures should I use, The flex partial, or the traditional metallic. Please help me make a decision: P.S. I have also a set of panoramic X-ray but i can’t post in this message for technical reasons. If you offer me your email address I will happily post it there. Thanks.
