Atrophied maxilla restored with a pterygo-maxillary implant a case report
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Specialities - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
It is well documented that restoration of posterior atrophied maxilla with implants is a complex entity in itself. Since, implant placement in this area is often accompanied by sinus lift which itself is a morbid procedure with questionable success rate, a new approach of placement of implants in Pterygo maxillary area was explored. The purpose of this article is to present a case report in which Pterygo-maxillary implant has been successfully placed to restore atrophied posterior maxilla without the sinus lift using 3D imaging technique - Cone Beam Computerised Tomography (CBCT). Thus, making it an easy procedure for placement of implants in the areas previously considered to be unapproachable.
