denture_implantDenture implants may be the next logical step for many people who have lost teeth and have to use dentures. Just over 20% of people have oral problems due to lack of dental care, or through an accident that has led to the loss of teeth. Because of this, false teeth are used instead of dental implants because of the cost of dental surgery.

If you are located near Philadelphia, you should check out Philadelphia Dental Implants and ask for Dr. Digiallorenzo who can give you the appropriate advice for your situation.

The use of dentures is not only for cosmetic reasons, but simply to be able to live a normal life. Using dentures has its own set of problems. The mouth can become sore where the loose dentures rub against the gums. Just as dentistry has become more advanced, so have Denture implants.

Dentures can now be secured to a dental implant that prevents problems with the rubbing and abbrasion. This is because the dental surgeon secures the  dental implant to the jawbone, providing an anchor for the artificial teeth .

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Diseases And Conditions No Comments »

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease which affects around 1% of the world’s population. It is an inflammatory disease which affects many of the body’s organs and tissues.  The main area that rheumatoid arthritis attacks is the joints.

The joints of a person with rheumatoid arthritis will become inflamed and this usually progresses to destroying the cartilage in the joints and then causing stiffness of the joints.  This is very painful for the sufferer. As well as attacking the joints, rheumatoid arthritis can also produce inflammation in other areas of the body such as the sclera, lungs, pericardium, pleura and skin.  It affects the skin due to nodular lesions which form under it.  The cause is still unknown but is linked to the autoimmune system.

Women are three times more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than men and it often starts at around the age of 40 or 50 but people can be afflicted at any age.  It is a very painful disease and can create significant disabling due to loss of function and mobility of the sufferer.
