title: [Study of the atrophy of the jaws].
abstract: Examining 230 edentulous patients, a significant degree of atrophy in the maxilla and mandible relatively often has been found. Atrophy could be detected more often in the mandible of female patients. For these forms of manifestation, among others, systemic causes: osteoporosis, diabetes and periodontal disease could be found. The results and their classification may help to draw the attention in the course of treatment to strong dissimilarities or similarities of the edentulous mouth. The degree of atrophy observed on both jaw-bones--among other factors--is significant for the planning and prognosis when indicating total prosthetic treatment.
