Latest-generation implants

Latest-generation implants:

Say goodbye to removable dentures

Latest-generation implants can provide a fixed prosthetic solution in a very short time, often within 24 hours, even for patients whose lack of bone makes conventional implant treatments more difficult.

In certain cases, their use can help avoid complex bone augmentation and regeneration procedures, significantly simplifying and shortening the course of treatment. Depending on the clinical situation, patients may receive a fixed solution during their first visit.

This approach requires a high level of expertise, extensive experience in implantology, and precise planning at every stage of treatment. Because of the complexity of these procedures and the specialist knowledge required, these treatments are not available at every dental clinic.

Pterygoid implant

Pterygoid implants can be placed in areas of the upper jaw where there is often insufficient bone for conventional implants. Their particular advantage lies in the fact that they are anchored in the natural, solid bone of the pterygoid region, which, in suitable cases, can help avoid a sinus lift and more extensive bone augmentation.

For patients, this can mean fewer surgical procedures, a shorter treatment process and a faster route to a fixed prosthetic solution. Instead of a lengthy process that may involve bone regeneration and months of waiting before implant placement, selected cases can be treated by placing implants in the existing natural bone and providing a fixed prosthetic restoration within a very short time – sometimes within 24 hours.

Pterygoid implants can also provide additional support as part of the All-on-4 concept. In certain anatomical and clinical situations, they allow a greater number of implants to be placed – for example, six instead of four – increasing the number of support points and distributing chewing forces more favourably. This can contribute to greater stability and the long-term reliability of the prosthetic restoration.

Palatal implant

A palatal implant is used in the upper jaw when the bone is very thin but has sufficient height. It represents an alternative to zygomatic and subperiosteal implants, as well as removable dentures.

Transsinus implant

A transsinus implant is used in the upper jaw when the maxillary sinus extends significantly towards the front, a situation often seen in patients who have lost their canine and incisor teeth. Placement usually involves implant placement and a sinus lift during the same procedure.

Extra-short implant

An extra-short implant can be used in either the upper or lower jaws and is indicated when bone width is sufficient, but bone height is reduced.

Zygomatic implant

A zygomatic implant is used in the upper jaw and is indicated when there is insufficient bone in both height and width. The implant is anchored directly in the zygomatic bone.

Subperiosteal implant

A subperiosteal implant can be used in either the upper or lower jaw and is indicated when there is insufficient bone in both width and height.

In the upper jaw, it can provide an alternative to zygomatic implants where the zygomatic bone is thin or where the anatomy of the maxillary sinus makes zygomatic implant placement potentially risky.
