What are Tuberopterygoid implants:
Pterygoid implants are implants located in 2nd molar area of
upper jaw. They allow the prosthetic rehabilitation on dental implants in upper
jaw. The applied forces go to the pterygomaxillar buttress area allowing
immediate loading of the implants.
Advantages of pterygoid implants:
» Eliminates
the need of sinus grafting.
» No
cantilevers from front teeth or implants
» Efficient chewing is possible as teeth upto second molars
are replaced. In cantilevers and zygomatic implant cases or in all-on -4 and
all – on – 6 techniques 2nd molars are not replaced. If replaced then they are
made as cantilevers which make the last implant weak and the bridge susceptible
to fracture in the long run.
» Bone in pterygoid area is cortical in nature, and hence very
strong and rigid allowing Immediate loading with permanent crown in 3 days.
» Single piece
implants are used which are strong in comparision to conventional dental
implants
» All patients
who want dental implants in upper jaw are good candidates as bone is always
available in pterygoid area.
» Flapless technique is used, as such patients have no
swelling or bleeding and patients need not stop blood thinners, if they are
taking any.
» Lifetime
warranty given as strong single piece implants are being used in strong
cortical bone.
» 100% success
rate.
