Depending on the type of work required and on the material used, relining can be: Resins can be classified according to the agent capable of triggering the polymerization process. In any prosthesis with mucous, or dental-mucous support, rehabilitation must follow the changes in the bone ridge remodelling is therefore balanced by the relining of the prosthesis which takes place using acrylic resins.
Class VI (mandibular only): the ridge presents the disappearance of the alveolar process, depressed in form with some resorption evidentĭepending on the level of resorption, on the patient’s general conditions and requirements, different treatment can be envisaged, ranging from a removable prosthesis to one on implants. Class V: ridge is flat, inadequate in height and width. Class IV: has a knife-edge form, adequate in height but inadequate in width. Class II: is well-rounded, adequate in height and width. Class II: presents post-extraction alveoli. Īccording to this classification the alveolar ridge: In edentulous areas, depending on the type (single, multiple, total) and on the edentulism time, the result is bone resorption to various degrees, which have been classified effectively and clearly by Cawood and Howell. 
General conditions of health: worsening conditions of health due to ageing, as well as the presence of specific systemic diseases can be associated with the risk of edentulism in adults. 
In the adult Italian population, the rate reaches 70%.
Periodontal disease: the rate increases significantly after the age of forty, to become a significant cause of loss of dental elements in adults. Previous dental treatment: secondary caries constitutes the main cause of failure of prosthetic rehabilitation in adults, often with the loss of the dental elements involved. Tooth decay: in industrial Countries, the population is clearly divided into individuals who are at high or low risk of tooth decay the sub-group at high risk even manages to risk having 12 new caries lesions a year. 
Indeed, edentulism is a very common clinical situation whose etiology stems from certain main problems: Despite improving general health conditions for the population, owing to both greater patient information and also to medical progress, the extension in the average life of the population makes it compulsory to know everything there is to know about the processes that occur in edentulous areas and to be able to rehabilitate them in the most appropriate way.
