Alveolar bone resorption can affect neighboring teeth.
Alveolar bone resorption includes many factors, mainly food impaction, bite trauma, and chronic periodontitis. Long-term alveolar bone resorption can affect neighboring teeth.
Frequent food impaction, or teeth with occlusal trauma, abnormal force stimulation of the gums, resulting in gum recession, alveolar bone resorption, this type of resorption belongs to the vertical type of bone resorption, if not treated in time, with the increase in the volume of bone resorption will spread to the neighboring teeth.
Alveolar bone resorption caused by chronic periodontitis is mostly horizontal, and resorption of adjacent teeth will occur, but the degree of resorption will vary.
The resorption of alveolar bone requires prompt attention, examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid adverse consequences.
