Immediate Loading of an Atrophied Maxilla Using the Principles of Cortically Fixed Titanium Hybrid Plates

Abstract

Replacing the dental arch evolved fixed prosthesis and later dental implants. Dental implants have intended to cover missing teeth in the maxilla and mandible. However, many areas have insufficient bone, and this is critical to success and prognosis. Therefore, this report case discusses an approach of implant treatment undertaken in a patient with pronounced maxillary atrophy using Pterygoid implants, biomaterials and a new model approach: the titanium Hybrid -Plates.

An alternative treatment option in the atrophied maxilla without sinus lift and bone graft-A case report

“…One of such implant systems is the Cortically Fixed at Once approach (CF@O) [13]. The CF@O system incorporates ranges of treatment options for management of edentulism, and it is an alternative to extensive surgical procedures in situations where there is substantial bone resorption [14][15][16][17]. The CF@O Implant system consists of several types of components specifically developed for different locations in the jaws [18].…”

“…The implant system incorporates the whole range of treatment procedures and it encourages early loading. It ensures that patient edentulism can be taken care of immediately with the restoration of function and aesthetics within a few days [17].…”

Implant Treatment in Atrophic Maxilla by Titanium Hybrid-Plates: A Finite Element Study to Evaluate the Biomechanical Behavior of Plates

“…The first hybrid plates were introduced by G. Scortecci in July 2000 and were first used in the same year in a patient with a fractured atrophic mandible. They had a large base plate (25,33, or 43 mm long, 7, 9, or 12 mm wide) [14]. These kinds of plates can be adjusted to the maxilla curvature and put in the best place to maintain occlusal function [15].…”

“…The finite element analysis employed in this study simulated a real case of a 58-year-old female, with patient consistent, who wanted fixed teeth in the maxilla in a compromised bone. The treatment consisted of two pterygoid implants, four hybrid plates fixed with osteosynthesis screws, and a metal acrylic bridge ten days later [25]. In this instance, only the plates were analyzed.…”

Minimal treatment options with one-piece implants

“…This technique is termed soft technique. The soft technique was invented to enhance implant primary stability and encourage early prosthodontic restoration [21].…”
