The posterior maxilla: clinical considerations and current concepts using Brånemark System™ implants

Chirurgia implantare computer guidata: software, modelli stereolitografici e guide chirurgiche

“…L'utilizzo di impianti inclinati non è recente [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , ma la possibilità di determinare la posizione degli impianti con la chirurgia computerizzata ne ha favorito la riscoperta. La chirurgia implantare senza innesti può essere, a seconda delle situazioni, eseguita con lembo ( fl ap ) o senza ( fl apless ).…”

To Graft or Not to Graft? Evidence-Based Guide to Decision Making in Oral Bone Graft Surgery

“…Treatment decisions are therefore more complex and non-surgical alternatives may involve non-removable restorations such as fixed partial dentures, cantilever and resinbonded bridges. Just by their presence, residual teeth may sometimes complicate treatment planning in cases of partial edentulism (Friberg, 2008). Depending on their periodontal and general condition, exceptional extraction of the residual dentition and thus transformation of partial into complete edentulism may at times prove advantageous in terms of avoiding bone graft surgery or even lowering treatment costs.…”

“…implants with an inclination greater than 15° (up to 35°) towards the occlusal plane (Friberg, 2008). No difference (LoE-3) in early failure rates and marginal bone resorption could be found between tilted and axial implants (Del Fabbro et al, 2010).…”

“…No controlled studies on parasinusal tilted or zygomatic implants in the partially edentulous posterior maxilla could be found (Friberg, 2008). The application of distraction osteogenesis in the posterior maxilla is limited by the proximity of the maxillary sinus (Bernstein et al, 2006).…”

“…Zygomatic implants have mainly been used in the rehabilitation of severely resorbed or partially resected maxillae in combination with premaxillary implants as an alternative to bone grafting (Friberg, 2008). Complications involve postoperative sinusitis in up to 14% of cases as well as temporary paresthesia, epistaxis, facial and periorbital hematoma and orbital penetration (Block & Haggerty, 2009).…”
