6 Teeth fulfil a number of functions. Primarily they are responsible for breaking down food and contributing to the formation of speech sounds. Teeth also serve to preserve the jawbone. Every tooth is made up of a root and a crown. When a tooth is lost, an implant can take on the general function of the natural tooth root. A dental implant can be compared to a small screw inserted into the jawbone. The bone grows around the implant so that it is firmly anchored in the jawbone. Depending on the indication, connection elements, so-called abutments, and the individually fabricated dental prosthesis, are attached to the implant. If teeth of a whole row of teeth are missing, the chewing pressure on the jaw is missing. As a consequence, the jawbone continues to deteriorate. The prosthesis no longer sits correctly and impairs food intake and speech control. For cases such as these, there is a scientifically based treatment concept for stabilizing prostheses. As advanced bone resorption limits the amount of bone available for fixing the implants and as anatomically critical structures such as the nerve in the lower jaw or the maxillary sinus in the maxilla have to be taken into account when placing implants, the posterior implants are placed at an angle in the treatment concept with COMFOUR as a rule. Depending on the situation, this avoids complex and cost-intensive surgical measures such as the reconstruction of the jawbone. Compared to straight placed implants, angled implants can provide a better distribution of force. This means that the chewing forces can be supported over a larger area. Depending on the initial situation, the treatment concept with COMFOUR in most cases allows you to leave the practice on the same day with firmly screw-retained teeth in the form of a bridge. Loose-fitting dentures are now a thing of the past. Talking, laughing, eating, the most natural things in life are finally possible again with COMFOUR - a real plus in comfort and assurance. The COMFOUR Concept - a definite plus in quality of life
