Zygomatic dental implants for complex dental rehabilitation cases
Zygomatic dental implants – the last chance for edentulous patients
Have you been told that you have no chance for a complete smile? That you don’t have enough bone for dental implant placement? It’s time to tell you about the benefits of zygomatic dental implants.
It’s true that the longer you delay replacing missing teeth, the more complicated the clinical situation can become. The alveolar bone (which supports the teeth) resorbs over time, and there may not be enough bone tissue left to support conventional dental implants. However, patients in this situation can turn to zygomatic dental implants – the solution for complex dental rehabilitation cases.
What are zygomatic dental implants and when are they necessary?
Zygomatic dental implants are the last chance for patients who have been told they don’t have enough bone to place conventional implants.
Zygomatic implants are much longer than traditional dental implants and are anchored in the zygomatic bones (cheekbones), passing through the alveolar bone and the maxillary sinus. They are used in extreme cases, when even patients with advanced maxillary bone resorption can still benefit from a fixed restoration, without the need for additional surgical procedures for bone grafting and major augmentation.
What benefits do zygomatic dental implants offer?
Zygomatic dental implants have revolutionized traditional dental implant treatment techniques for edentulous patients.
- Minimize surgical invasiveness
- Reduce healing time
- Shorten treatment completion time, as they allow for immediate loading
How do severe maxillary bone atrophies manifest?
Severe bone resorption is the significant shrinkage of the maxillary bone that supports the teeth. The main cause is the loss of teeth long ago that once stimulated the bone. Just like muscles atrophy in the absence of physical exercise, the maxillary bone atrophies when teeth are missing. Moreover, wearing removable dentures accelerates bone resorption. In this case, the dentures lose stability, leading to pain caused by gum irritation or even nerve irritation.
DENTESSE Clinics have a dedicated operating room for surgical treatments, and complex dental reconstructions are performed under inhalation sedation or intravenous sedation, assisted by an anesthetist, ensuring patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Treatment plans and procedures are carried out through interdisciplinary collaboration by a medical team specialized in all branches of dentistry.
