If the person is in stage 4 of CKD, he may be advised to reduce protein to 10% of calorie intake per day. The suggested intake of protein decreases, because more than 70% of kidney function has lost in stage 4 of Chronic Kidney Disease.
Dental Implant Restorations. Dental Implants are a new alternative in tooth replacement. The procedure consists of two stages: placement of a replacement tooth root at your dental specialist's office, followed by placement of a tooth replacement (crown) at our office.
There are two components to your dental implant restoration â the implant that serves as your replacement root and the dental crown which serves as the prosthetic tooth. The dental implant can last forever. It is made of titanium and will fuse with your jawbone, allowing it to serve as a stable, functional root. It should not decay or corrode. In fact, some of the earliest dental implants placed over 30 years ago are still functioning properly in the mouths of these patients.
