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.
A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. An implant-retained replacement tooth has the same basic parts. The dental implant has a crown (the visible part of of the restoration above the gum line that serves as a food chewing surface and is provided by your general dentist).
