Surgical Management of a Severe Early Implant Complication: A 19-Year Follow-Up Case Report.

Introduction: Reports on long-term response to treatment of different implant complications with a span of more than 15 years are scarce. This case report presents a patient with early severe bone loss around an unloaded dental implant, with treatment and 19-year follow up.

Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male non-smoker with no known systemic contributory history presented for replacement of the mandibular right first molar.

Length of the drilling holes of zygomatic implants inserted with the standard technique or a revised method: a comparative study in dry skulls.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the length of the holes drilled for the placement of zygomatic implants using two surgical techniques: the original Brånemark and the Exteriorized (extrasinus) protocols. The most frequent implant length used and position where the implants emerged in the zygomatic bone were recorded.

Materials And Methods: Both surgical techniques for inserting zygomatic implants were performed on the right and left sides of 18 dry adult skulls.
