Zygomatic Implants


Book Description

Zygomatic implants have been in use for more than two decades, and clinical follow-up studies have shown good outcomes. However, this treatment approach is only now seeing a strong resurgence of interest because it can provide patients with a fixed dentition in a short amount of time without any grafts, general anesthesia, or morbidity from a donor site, even in challenging clinical situations. Thus, a technique of relative complexity becomes minimally invasive in its application. This book reviews the state of the art of zygomatic implants and outlines several new surgical techniques and adjunctive procedures. The authors cover the fundamentals of using zygomatic implants, including the rationale behind the approach, anatomical and biomechanical considerations, imaging of the zygoma, possible sinus reactions, contraindications, prosthodontic considerations, and management of complications. This book will arm clinicians with clear guidelines for using zygomatic implants in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients.




Zygomatic Implants


Book Description

This book provides clinicians with state of the art information on the use of zygomatic implants to restore function and improve quality of life. International experts come together to showcase important innovations and advances in techniques that will assist in the optimization of outcomes. Readers will find information on indications, biomechanics, the role of imaging, digital treatment planning, and all aspects of implant placement. Individual chapters are devoted to different procedures, including the extramaxillary surgical technique, extended sinus lift with retained bone window, the anatomy-guided approach, the quad zygoma technique, and static and dynamic guided surgery. The use of zygomatic implants specifically in oncology patients is also given detailed consideration. Today, the zygomatic approach offers many advantages for patients with severe maxillary resorption, in whom grafting was in the past unavoidable. In providing an up-to-date global perspective on the zygoma concept, this book will be an invaluable source of guidance for practitioners at all levels of experience.




ZYGOMA 2.0 - The New Age of Zygomatic Implants


Book Description

A new way of understanding the atrophic jawA new way to indicate zygomatic implants.A new way to plan for tangible goal, without subjective guessingA new way to use virtual planning intelligentlyA new way to position the implants in the region of the residual ridgeA new way of doing the surgery, with an objective and safe referencesA new way to shorten your learning curveA new way to work with prototypes - intelligently and objectively.A new way of anesthetizing - allowing you to do most cases under local anesthesiaA new way to improve the emergence of the prosthetic screwA new way of learning, do, and teach zygomatic implants.A peculiarity of zygomatic implant surgery is that there is no middle ground. Either you do it, or you don't. In "non-zygomatic" implant dentistry, there is scope for errors and, even if you make mistakes, you stay in the game until you dominate. But, with the zygomatic implants, most who try to learn to end up giving up in the first surgeries. Why? At the time of surgery, after the local or general anesthesia and total mucoperiosteal detachment, it is time to start drilling for the subsequent installation of zygomatic implants. At this crucial moment, the main question that dominates the surgeon's mind is: So, where do I drill? At that moment, it doesn't matter your academic titles, it doesn't matter how many articles you have published, and it doesn't matter your ego. It is the moment of truth. It is where demagogy ends, and a clear distinction between information and knowledge begins. Surgeons who master the zygomatic implants have learned through hard work, with a slow and arduous learning curve, and by making some mistakes. At the moment of the surgery, their surgical judgment is through their surgical feeling and intuition. But the question is: how do you transmit this knowledge? How do you teach zygomatic implants? How do you learn zygomatic implants?In this book, we will learn how the zygomatic implant learning curve works and how, through the ZYGOMA 2.0 Concept, it is possible to substantially shorten this curve. The answer lies in technology, surgical knowledge, objectivity, and practical reasoning ability. Among several topics, you will learn from this book: - The advantages of mastering the zygomatic implant technique from the point of view of marketing differential - The learning curve in zygomatic implants - Let's understand the basics, the surgical techniques described, and how zygomatic implants were traditionally taught, what we call ZYGOMA 1.0. - We will understand the nuances of surgical kits, implant drills and we will talk about trademarks and how to choose your zygomatic implant system - You will learn how to correctly indicate zygomatic implants, within the All-on-4 concept - We will go into step-by-step details of the All-on-4 Standard, Hybrid and Zygoma - We will see how to choose the ideal virtual planning software - Learn to work with the Virtually Osteotomized Prototype, where we will have a visual guide from where to perform precisely the initial perforations with the implant perfectly in the position of maximum anchorage in the body of the zygoma - How to use the initial perforation bone supported guides, understanding their advantages and limitations.There are several ways to learn zygomatic implants. I'll show you a way. Is that the best way? I can't answer that because I'd have a bias. Then I suggest you understand the method and then draw your own conclusions.ZYGOMA 2.0 - The New Age of Zygomatic Implants. The Ultimate Guide to get started, Accelerate Your Learning Curve, Master the Surgical Technique, and Get Ahead in Dental Market.




Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient


Book Description

This book, designed to meet the needs of clinicians and now in an extensively revised second edition, clearly explains the rationale and technique for the rehabilitation of fully edentulous patients utilizing traditional graftless concepts as well as zygomatic implant strategies when posterior support cannot be achieved by the former means. Considerations relevant to treatment planning and the biomechanics of immediate loading and zygomatic implants are first discussed. The techniques for placement of traditional tilted and zygomatic implants and for immediate loading of a full arch restoration are then described step by step. Detailed information and guidance are also provided on the different materials available for full arch restorations, laboratory aspects of the definitive restoration, maintenance of restorations, and management of prosthetic and surgical complications. The book concludes with a helpful series of clinical cases. Graftless Solutions for the Edentulous Patient is designed particularly for clinicians with experience in placing and restoring dental implants.
