Upper teeth have lesser bone loss..
Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome back..
As per your query there is more severe bone loss with lower teeth however upper teeth has comparatively less bone loss..
As far as saving the teeth is concerned, the upper teeth will have a good life if proper maintenance of oral hygiene and care is taken..
But lower teeth has lost sufficient bone, but still will not fall soon and can last for a some years if proper maintenance is done..
I would first of all like to know what all treatments are already done for the teeth so that I can guide you accordingly and more appropriately..
Please revert back with explanations..

would bone grafting save the upper and lower teeth?
Less chances of bone regeneration to an appropriate level..
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Welcome back..
As per your query as there is significant bone loss in lower teeth therefore chances of saving teeth using bone grafts is less possible..
And in upper teeth if regular Scalings and other oral hygiene measures are followed then you might not need grafting at all..
I would however also like to know that are the lower teeth stable after splinting or are they still loose..
Are the upper teeth loose or firm?
Does the patient has diabetes or does he smoke?
Please provide details as these information can play an important role in the success of treatment and maintaining teeth further..
Hope this information helps..
Regards.
