Patient Specific Implant – A Reliable Alternative to Atrophic Maxillas
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The increasing demand for fixed teeth brings new challenges for the oral surgeons to fulfill the patient's desires. More and more often the clinician faces hard and soft tissue atrophies which are very difficult to treat with the conventional root-form implants. In these cases, a not-so-new approach has been more widely used in alternative to zygomatic implants or major bone grafts: The Patient Specific Implant (PSI).
