In-house protocol for fully guided zygomatic implant surgery and prosthesis repositioning. A technical note.

Aim: The present study aims to describe an in-house protocol for fully guided zygomatic implant surgery and prosthesis repositioning.

Materials And Methods: Four extramaxillary zygomatic dental implants (ZIs) were placed in one patient. The preoperative phase included digital planning, through which a surgical guide was designed and created.

Mouth opening limitation and influence of age and surgical location for static fully guided dental implant placement: an observational, cross-sectional clinical study.

The influence of age and region of the mouth was assessed in regard to mouth opening in fully guided implant placement. Ninety patients were included in this study, 30 in each of three age groups (20-34, 35-55, and >55 years). Maximum passive mouth opening was recorded in three locations: incisal, canine, and molar.

Three-Dimensional Evaluation of the Accuracy of Zygomatic Implant Placement Through an In-House Fully Guided Approach.

To validate guided surgery for zygomatic implants (ZIs) by analyzing the final position of the implants relative to the preoperatively planned position. Five patients with fully edentulous atrophic maxillae treated with four ZIs through a fully guided implant surgical approach were evaluated. The preoperative phase included digital planning, through which the surgical guide was designed and created.

Customized guide for transmucosal pterygomaxillary disjunction: Proof of concept.

Potential complications related to pterygomaxillary disjunction have been widely described in the literature, most of them being due to the inaccurate and blind approach involved. The present study used preoperative virtual planning to establish a surgical cutting guide for pterygomaxillary osteotomy. It was placed in the maxillary tuberosity supported by molars, and a flapless vertical osteotomy was performed with a piezoelectric saw.

Accuracy of static fully guided implant placement in the posterior area of partially edentulous jaws: a cohort prospective study.

Objective: A cohort prospective study was conducted to assess the three-dimensional positioning accuracy of the implant between pre-surgical and the final implant position using a static fully guided approach in the posterior area of the jaws.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 implants (30 patients) were digitally analyzed after superimposing the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files obtained from the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) pre- and post-implant placement. The software calculations included deviations at the implant shoulder and at the implant apex, global deviation (3D offset), and angle deviation.
