XH03 - Advanced Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation for the Atrophic Maxilla: Solving Serious Problems Using Zygomatic, Pterygoid, Transnasal and Transpalatal Implants
Associate Clinical Professor Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, Arizona
The ultimate dental implant challenge is reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla and mandible, especially in patients with multiple previous failed attempts at dental implant placement and full-arch implant rehabilitation. This hands-on session will concentrate on the maxilla only. Zygomatic implants were first used for reconstruction of large maxillofacial defects; now they are commonly used in patients with terminal dentition with atrophic maxillary bone to provide implant-retained fixed and removable prosthesis utilizing the zygomatic bones to anchor the dental implants. Now we have added Pterygoid, transnasal and transpalatal Implants to this arsenal. This course is a comprehensive, detailed, step-by-step lecture that will cover the zygomatic, pterygoid, transnasal and transpalatal implant surgical and presurgical planning, surgical procedures protocols including multiple algorithms (PATZi Protocol) and techniques commonly utilized to place these implants.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Identify the treatment plan, and select appropriate patients for and place zygomatic implants.
Identify the treatment plan, and select appropriate patients for and place pterygoid implants.
Identify the treatment plan and select appropriate patients for and place transnasal and transpalatal implants.
Discuss anatomical and X-ray interpretation connected with the evaluation of the atrophic maxilla for selecting the appropriate type of remote anchorage solutions.
Discuss the surgical complications and pitfalls associated with the various types of remote anchorage dental implants.
