Dental Implants are a transformative solution for those suffering from considerable bone loss in the upper jaw. Conventional zygoma implants are ideal for people with severe bone resorption, but they are not ideal for all. As an alternative, basal zygomatic implants are preferred as they provide a less invasive solution with similar advantages. Let’s delve into the topic
What If I Am Not Suitable For Basal Zygomatic Implants?
Patients who have severe upper jaw bone loss can get zygomatic implants that anchor into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). Because of anatomical challenges, & health conditions, it is not suitable for all. For such patients, Basal Zygomatic Implants are a viable alternative. These implants integrate with basal bone that has a dense layer, providing stability despite upper jaw bone resorption. A couple of its advantages are:
- Less Minimally Invasive: Fewer surgical procedures are needed and there is no need for extensive bone grafting. Infact, a pinhole surgical method is used to place basal zygomatic implants.
- Broad Applicability: It is ideal for patients with various bone conditions, making it better than traditional zygomatic implants.
Patients with conditions such as severely atrophied maxilla tend to further be at a risk for Conventional zygomatic Implants when performing techniques such as the all on 4 implant system due to the negligible availability of the bone.
Conventional Zygomatic Implants: An Invasive Procedure
Traditional zygomatic implants are more invasive and complex because:
1.Surgical Complexity: The surgery is complex as it requires significant expertise to anchor long implants into the zygomatic bone.
2.General Anesthesia: Due to surgical complexity, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia for effective pain management
3.Extended Recovery: Compared to other implants, it has a longer recovery period.
Basal Zygomatic Implants: As Straightforward as Other Basal Implants
Basal zygomatic implants are as straightforward as other basal implants that are anchored into the dense basal bone. The main benefits of basal zygoma implants are:
- Minimally invasive techniques, eliminating the need for general anesthesia
- Faster recovery as the surgical process is simplified
- Applicable in wider bone conditions, providing flexibility & accessibility in different bone loss
