Dental Implant Rehabilitation Mitigates the Increased Mortality Risk Associated With Tooth Loss: A Population‐Based Study

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Fewer posterior masticatory units (PMUs) are associated with higher mortality, partly explained by diet quality. This association is attenuated by posterior prosthetic rehabilitation and is no longer evident when ≥ 5 PMUs are restored with implant‐supported prostheses. ABSTRACT Aim To (i) evaluate the association between posterior masticatory unit (PMU)

We propose reorienting periodontal care around three public health opportunities—upstream prevention, diagnosis fit for both clinical and population use, and value‐based treatment—prioritizing prevention, value, and ...
