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.

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.

In this issue of Atlas of the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, guest editors Anastasiya Quimby and Salam Salman bring their considerable expertise to the topic of zygomatic implants. - Provides in-depth, clinical reviews on zygomatic implants, providing actionable insights for clinical practice. - Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field; Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create these timely topic-based reviews.

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.

Although they have been in use for over 50 years, pterygoid implants are one of the least understood styles of dental implant treatment. This may be due to the fact that pterygoid implants are widely considered to be one of the most difficult fixtures to place in all of implant dentistry. In this 230 page textbook, Dr. Dan Holtzclaw details his experience utilizing pterygoid implants in hundreds of full arch immediate load cases. Features of this book include:?A review of the history of pterygoid dental implants?A review of the anatomy pertinent for pterygoid implant placement?Indications and contraindications for pterygoid implant placement?Pre-surgical workup for treatment planning pterygoid dental implants?Surgical techniques for the placement of pterygoid dental implants?Prosthetic considerations for pterygoid dental implants?Complications associated with pterygoid dental implants?Detailed documentation of 10 pterygoid dental implant cases

This atlas, in which a wealth of illustrations are supported by clear explanatory text, offers an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the immediate restoration of teeth and immediate functional loading when using different implant systems and surfaces in patients with single tooth loss or partial or complete edentulism. It provides guidance on all aspects of technique, including procedures for impression and measurement taking, and describes the surgical and prosthetic protocols applicable in various settings. The coverage encompasses the more advanced techniques used for immediate loading of implants placed in conjunction with grafting/augmentation procedures or in fresh extraction sockets, as well as immediate implant loading for mandibular and maxillary full-arch rehabilitation. This atlas will help dental students and practitioners to gain a sound understanding of immediate loading techniques, including their indications and limitations, and to apply them optimally in their practice. The atlas also shows and explains how to integrate a full digital workflow from the intraoral scanner to solve complex cases in a simple way.

This seminal book articulates a new paradigm in prosthodontic practice documenting a radical shift in clinical focus toward a more biologic and patient-centered approach. Drawing on 25 years of collective knowledge and experience, the authors guide readers through each step of this comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to patient care. This book centers on diagnosis and clinical decision making for prosthetic rehabilitation, which demands equal consideration of patients' systemic, psychologic, and functional needs as well as basic knowledge of the other disciplines of dentistry. With impressive supporting documentation from the literature, the authors outline a systematic approach to evidence-based prosthodontics. Restorative dentists at all levels will be eager to embrace this innovative approach to patient care.
