“Revolutionizing Dental Solutions: Galileus Cerclage Sinus® vs. Traditional Techniques for Complete Upper Jaw Restoration”
The lack of bone in the posterior zones of the upper jaw often poses challenges for dental procedures. While there are various techniques to address this issue, three commonly used methodologies primarily focus on the frontal bone of the upper jaw to avoid posterior atrophy and sinus problems: All-on-4, All-on-6, and Quad Zygomatic. However, for patients with deficiencies in both the posterior and anterior parts, the Quad Zygomatic technique comes into play, utilizing the zygomatic bones for support, with two implants for each zygomatic bone. Nevertheless, an innovative surgical approach, the Galileus Cerclage Sinus®, surpasses these methodologies by avoiding autologous bone grafts, extensive sinus lifts, and even the need for All-on-4, All-on-6, or Quad Zygomatic implants.
The Galileus Cerclage Sinus® procedure offers significant advantages, providing a fixed prosthesis with support and masticatory functionality not only in the front but also in the posterior part of the upper jaw. This comprehensive approach enhances masticatory performance, comfort, and even the distribution of implants throughout the upper jaw. Under certain anatomical conditions, achieving a natural aesthetic is possible with a custom-made fixed circular prosthesis composed of 14 teeth, crafted without the need for extensive false gum. The use of posterior pterygoids allows for an aesthetic and natural outcome, bringing joy to patients and satisfying their needs.
Surgical Techniques Comparison: Galileus Cerclage Sinus® vs. All-on-4 vs. All-on-6 vs. Quad Zygomatic
Welcome to the detailed comparison of four surgical techniques used in the prosthetic rehabilitation of the upper jaw: Galileus Cerclage Sinus®, All-on-4, All-on-6, and Quad Zygomatic. We will explore the features of each technique in terms of surgery, functionality, and aesthetics to help you make informed decisions.
1. Galileus Cerclage Sinus®:
- Surgery:
- Advanced technique using pterygoid and nasal implants, avoiding extensive grafts or lifts.
- Functionality:
- Complete chewing with support both front and back.
- Aesthetics:
- Minimizes the use of false gum, offering a natural appearance.
2. All-on-4:
- Surgery:
- Uses four implants in the premaxilla area, avoiding the maxillary sinuses.
- Functionality:
- Support for a fixed prosthesis, but chewing may be limited.
- Aesthetics:
- Good aesthetics, but with possible compromises in the posterior area.
3. All-on-6:
- Surgery:
- Six fixed implants in the upper jaw for increased stability.
- Functionality:
- Good support for a complete prosthesis.
- Aesthetics:
- Improved aesthetics compared to All-on-4 but with greater invasiveness.
4. Quad Zygomatic:
- Surgery:
- Use of zygomatic implants to overcome bone atrophy.
- Functionality:
- Limited chewing and primarily frontal support.
- Aesthetics:
- Possible need for a wide false gum, with aesthetic compromises.
Conclusion:
- The choice between these techniques depends on the specific needs of the patient.
- Galileus Cerclage Sinus® offers an advanced approach with complete chewing and natural aesthetics.
- All-on-4 and All-on-6 are established options but with considerations for chewing and aesthetics.
- Quad Zygomatic is an alternative for patients with severe atrophies but with functional and aesthetic limitations.
The best decision will be based on a thorough case assessment and the individual preferences of the patient. Always consult your dental professional for personalized advice.
