Hello, we all age over time and there are some changes in our tissues due to this, so your prostheses will be affected by these changes. The border compatibility of the prostheses with the gums deteriorates over time and for this reason, the prostheses need to be renewed. Gold used to be preferred because it was a more tissue-friendly material, but gold material is no longer used in crowns for reasons such as low mechanical strength and aesthetic disadvantages.
