AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a clinical case where an implant was placed in the nasopalatine canal to help with the rehabilitation of an atrophic maxilla.
- The surgical process included two stages: the first involved lifting the maxillary sinus membrane and placing xenogeneic bone, while the second involved placing seven osseointegrated implants, one of which was in the nasopalatine canal after clearing its neurovascular content.
- After a 5-month healing period and a follow-up of 4 years, the results showed no pain, confirming that this implant method is a viable option for using implant-supported prostheses in patients with atrophic maxillae.
Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to describe the clinical case of implant placement in the nasopalatine canal as an aid for atrophic maxilla rehabilitation.
Case Report: The surgical procedure was carried out in 2 stages, the first part consisted of a surgery to lift the maxillary sinus membrane associated with the xenogeneic bone placement and the second part consisted of the surgery for the implants placement, both under local anesthesia. A number of seven osseointegrated implants were placed in the maxilla, one was anchored in the nasopalatine canal region after having its neurovascular content emptied by means of the use of drill threads of the implant system. After 5 months, the implant reopening was carried out, followed by the molding, manufacturing and placement of the protocol-type prosthesis. The case has a 4-year follow-up without any painful symptomatology.
Conclusion: The implant placed in the nasopalatine canal region is a viable option to assist in the rehabilitation with implant-supported prostheses in atrophic maxilla.
