Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome of immediately loaded cross-arch maxillary prostheses supported by zygomatic implants vs conventional implants placed in augmented bone.
Materials And Methods: In total, 71 edentulous patients with severely atrophic maxillas without sufficient bone volumes for placing dental implants, or when it was possible to place only two implants in the anterior area (minimal diameter 3.5 mm and length of 8 mm) and less than 4 mm of bone height subantrally, were randomised according to a parallel group design to receive zygomatic implants (35 patients) to be loaded immediately vs grafting with a xenograft, followed after 6 months of graft consolidation by placement of six to eight conventional dental implants submerged for 4 months (36 patients).
Purpose: To compare the clinical outcome of immediately loaded cross-arch maxillary prostheses supported by zygomatic implants vs conventional implants placed in augmented bone.
Materials And Methods: A total of 71 edentulous patients with severely atrophic maxillas, who did not have sufficient bone volume to place dental implants or when it was possible to place only two implants in the front area (minimal diameter 3.5 mm and length of 8 mm) and less than 4.
Palatal core graft for alveolar reconstruction: a new donor site.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
November 2005
Purpose: A simple technique is described for alveolar reconstruction in cases where resorption has already occurred. The palatal core graft allows immediate regeneration of vertical, horizontal, and combined defects at the alveolus with minimal donor site morbidity and time consumption.
Materials And Methods: Seventeen patients (10 female and 7 male) were treated over a 1-year period.
