Building bridges should be avoided for completion of lost teeth in youth and medium-age group. Estimate usage period of bridges is 5-7 years. In this period, bone losses may be seen by bridge’s  delivering its load directly to jaw bone and failure of cleansing in superficial bridges interfaces. These losses make building new bridges impossible in following periods and construction of implant carries risk in this case.
In this context, construction of implant without formation of bone losses are used in long periods with crowning and health bridges as much as our real teeth. Knitting of implant into jaw bone in youth and early periods is a time affecting usage period in a great extent. Implant is applied with accomplishment in advanced ages but bone losses which false and long-lasting bridges have formed and repairing of bone itself in this long term may affect usage period and recovery.
Since chewing forces are delivered directly to implant area like real teeth, loss of bones (in every age) does not occur. Other important factors of implant application are accurate planning, accurate bridge, crowning application and ideal mouth care.
