“…One of the included studies used grounded theory as the qualitative approach [7] and one the phenomenological method [8]. Qualitative content analysis was applied in the remaining seven studies [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Two of these studies were of low quality and were not included in further analysis [14,15].…”

“…1 Tooth loss is psychologically a traumatizing experience and is considered to be a serious event as it enhances the poor quality of life that may require significant psychological readjustment. 2 Teeth are required for mastication, phonetics, esthetics, structural balance, and for the comfort of an individual. With the loss of teeth, the above functions are impaired resulting in physical and physiological, psychological trauma to the individual.…”

Aim: Teeth maintain the functionality and esthetic of oral cavity, they are also important for psychological and social well-being. This study aims to assess awareness of patients toward replacement of missing teeth. People with unrestored or missing teeth tend to have poor self-esteem and oral health-related quality of life; hence, their knowledge toward restoring and replacing teeth is an important aspect to be measured. Materials and methods:It was an observational study having a cross-sectional design. Face-and content-validated questionnaire was used as study tool. Nonprobability, convenient sampling technique was employed that yielded information from 183 respondents residing in various areas of Hail city. Data were collected after written informed consent. The study was approved by the University of Hail ethical committee.Results: Two hundred questionnaires were distributed, out of which 183 were returned. Regarding knowledge of restoring missing teeth, 145 (79.2%) respondents know that function and esthetic can be maintained by replacing missing teeth. Information about the availability of various types of prosthesis was mostly obtained by them through their dentist (70; 48.3%), while books/magazines/Internet was the second source (38; 26.2%) and 37 (25.5%) heard it from someone who has already undergone the replacement of teeth. Conclusion:The present study indicated that a good number of respondents have the knowledge of teeth replacement, and dentists were the most common source of information to the patients in terms of education about different treatment options.Clinical significance: Evaluate and plan treatment options based on patients' expectations and perceptions.

“…Tooth loss is considered to be a serious event in the life of a person, psychologically a very traumatizing and upsetting experience, requiring significant psychological readjustment. [1,2] There is a direct relationship between the number of teeth present and total satisfaction with oral status. [3,4] However, the challenge mainly is to satisfy the patient's demand and replace the missing teeth for improving the esthetics, function, and quality of life without harming the remaining teeth or gingival tissues.…”

Patients often present with congenital and acquired tooth loss, traumatic injuries, and it is incumbent on the prosthodontics team to diagnose educate and provide care plans that address the range of issues concerning the young adult needing tooth replacement therapy. The challenge in treating patients with missing teeth in young adult patients and concomitant malocclusion, particularly in the long-term is how to achieve the best esthetic and functional results. The diagnostic phase is critical and involves an interdisciplinary team. Auto-transplantation of teeth and orthodontic space closure represent viable biological approaches for replacement of incisors because of the permanence of the result, particularly in growing individuals. Even if solid comparative research data for the different replacement methods so far are not available, a compilation of all treatment modalities can produce treatment results that are almost indistinguishable from an intact dentition. This will lead to progressive care plans that engage removable, fixed, and implant prosthodontics with an eye to a multidisciplinary approach. This paper will review the critical points of assessment, key points to consider, and then provide clinical examples of care plans for the transitional adult in our practice. The goal should be that patients who have received treatment for missing teeth will have treatment results that are indistinguishable from normal appearance. A prerequisite is that the therapy is based on a complete diagnosis, that the indications for the selected approach are present, and that attention to detail throughout treatment is exercised by all involved in the treatment.
