At our practice, we are committed to providing a diverse range of options for dental implants, encompassing various brands, diameters, and shapes. This approach aims to address the specific needs and unique conditions of each patient. During the initial phase of the visit and through subsequent in-depth diagnostic checks, we carefully examine the patient’s bone characteristics. This allows us to select the most suitable dental implant, ensuring optimal performance in providing the necessary support for a fixed prosthesis during chewing activities.
We are dedicated to ensuring highly personalized treatment, based on a thorough assessment of individual needs. Our practice adopts a flexible approach, carefully considering each patient’s specific conditions to ensure that the choice of implant is appropriate and provides lasting solutions. The variety of options available allows us to adapt to the unique challenges that each case may present, ensuring high-quality and satisfying results for our patients.
Currently, there are various types of dental implants available in the market, each with specific characteristics in terms of shape and diameter. It’s important to note that the choice of implant depends on the individual conditions of the patient and the clinical situation. Here is a general list covering different available options:
- Screw Implants (Endosseous):
- Shape: Usually screw or cylindrical.
- Diameter: Ranges from 3 to 6 mm.
- Features: Suitable for most situations, providing stability and support.
- Blade Implants (Plate Form):
- Shape: Plate or blade.
- Diameter: Varies depending on the model, generally wider than screw implants.
- Features: Suitable for patients with limited bone space or thin bone.
- Disk Implants (Subperiosteal):
- Shape: Disk or flat.
- Diameter: Varies based on the size of the disk.
- Features: Positioned under the periosteum, suitable for patients with insufficient vertical bone space.
- Mini-Implants:
- Shape: Usually thinner than traditional implants.
- Diameter: Less than 3 mm.
- Features: Used in cases with limited spaces or in patients who cannot undergo invasive surgery.
- Zygomatic Implants:
- Shape: Typically longer, reaching the zygomatic bone.
- Diameter: Varies depending on the model.
- Features: Used when the maxillary bone is insufficient, anchored to the zygomatic bone.
- Cortical Implants:
- Shape: Designed for anchoring in cortical bone.
- Diameter: Varies depending on the model.
- Features: Designed to leverage the density of cortical bone.
It’s crucial to consult with an implant specialist to determine the best choice based on the patient’s specific conditions.
Pterygoid implants represent an advanced solution in implant dentistry, particularly suitable for patients with severe bone loss in the posterior region of the upper jaw. Here are some key features of these implants:
- Pterygoid Placement:
- Location: Positioned in the pterygoid region of the upper jaw.
- Purpose: Aim to utilize the bone in the pterygoid region to provide stable support.
- Use in Complex Cases:
- Severe Bone Loss: Ideal for patients with significant bone atrophy or insufficient maxillary bone in the posterior region.
- Avoids Bone Grafts: Reduces the need for additional bone grafts, simplifying the rehabilitation process.
- Advanced Galileus Cerclage® Sinus Technique:
- Specialized Approach: Often used in conjunction with the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique to maximize aesthetic and functional effectiveness.
- Personalized Surgery: The technique is tailored to each patient’s specific needs to ensure optimal results.
- Stability and Support:
- Structural Characteristics: Designed to provide stability and support even in anatomically complex situations.
- Risk Minimization: The design aims to minimize the risk of complications during the procedure.
- Immediate Load Results:
- Immediate Loading: In some cases, immediate loading can be applied to pterygoid implants, allowing patients to quickly benefit from prosthetics.
It is crucial that the choice of pterygoid implants is guided by a thorough case evaluation by an implantology specialist. Customizing the procedure ensures that the implants are optimally placed to deliver lasting and satisfactory results.
