Oral Rehabilitation
Oral rehabilitation is a branch of dentistry that focuses on restoring the function, aesthetics, and oral health of patients who have experienced tooth loss or damage due to injuries, diseases, or natural aging. Oral rehabilitation utilizes a combination of procedures and techniques such as dental prosthetics, dental implants, teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, and orthodontics to restore the natural appearance and function of the teeth and mouth.
Main Goal
The primary goal of oral rehabilitation is to improve the patient’s quality of life by enabling them to speak, chew, and smile with confidence, as well as to prevent bone loss and maintain long-term oral health. The treatment of oral rehabilitation can be personalized for each patient depending on their specific needs and individual dental situation.
Some situations in which oral rehabilitation may be necessary include:
Tooth loss:
If one or more teeth are lost, oral rehabilitation may be necessary to restore chewing function and oral aesthetics. This may involve the placement of dental implants, fabrication of dental bridges, complete dentures, or removable partial dentures.
Dental damage:
If a tooth is damaged due to an injury or dental caries, oral rehabilitation treatment such as a dental crown or dental filling may be required.
Malocclusion:
Malocclusion or dental misalignment may require oral rehabilitation treatment, such as orthodontic treatment to correct the position of the teeth and jaw.
Bruxism:
Bruxism or teeth grinding can cause dental damage and may require oral rehabilitation treatment, such as the fabrication of mouthguards to protect the teeth and jaw.
Periodontal diseases:
Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, can cause damage to the tissues supporting the teeth and may require oral rehabilitation treatment, such as deep dental cleaning and periodontal surgery.

DENTAL PROSTHETICS
Dental prosthetics are devices used to replace missing or damaged teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. There are different types of dental prosthetics, including removable partial dentures, complete dentures, fixed bridges, and implant-supported prostheses.
In Colombia, the technology used in the fabrication of dental prosthetics has significantly evolved in recent decades. Advanced techniques such as digital printing and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are currently used for the fabrication of dental prosthetics.
In Colombia, techniques such as nanotechnology are also being used to improve the quality and durability of dental prosthetics. Nanotechnology is used to modify the surface of the materials used in prosthetics, increasing their strength and reducing the risk of infection.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are a technique in oral rehabilitation used to replace one or more missing teeth. Dental implants consist of a small titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone or maxilla, onto which a dental prosthesis such as a crown or denture is placed.
Currently, techniques such as virtual planning and computer-guided surgery are used to improve the precision and effectiveness of procedures. Virtual planning involves the use of 3D tomographic images to assess the quality and quantity of bone available for implant placement and to plan the exact position and angle in which the implants will be placed. Computer-guided surgery is used to place dental implants more precisely and safely. This technique involves the use of personalized surgical guides designed based on virtual planning to guide the placement of implants with greater precision and reduce the risk of complications.
In Colombia, state-of-the-art dental implants are used, manufactured with high-quality materials and advanced technology to improve their durability, strength, and biocompatibility.
