required root canals and were then cut off at the gum line after the radiation made extraction impossible due to jaw bone damage. One was 'pulled' prior to the treatment and one just fell out on its own from the bone damage. Of course, my wisdom teeth were gone from my 20s.

Nothing replaced. But I'm a very slow eater due to a lack of chewing surfaces.
