Resorbed

In the realm of oral health, a fascinating phenomenon occurs when the jawbone undergoes a process of absorption due to the lack of proper function. This phenomenon commonly takes place following the loss of a tooth. As the tooth is no longer present to stimulate and support the jawbone during activities such as chewing, the surrounding bone may gradually diminish in size and density through a process known as bone resorption. This absorption of the jawbone highlights the interconnected nature of dental structures and emphasizes the importance of dental interventions, such as dental implants or dentures, to maintain the integrity and health of the oral and facial structures.
