Abstract Objective Computer assistance has become indispensable in the reconstruction of orbit and midface. Although these are key areas an individual’s esthetic appearance, defects or deformities midface, especially those orbit, treated diversely. Methods The aim this article is to present wide utility computer-assistance modern craniomaxillofacial surgery, including virtual planning, computer...

PURPOSE To determine and compare the accuracy of an advanced surgical template based on computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) with the conventional surgical template in different respects such as entry point, length, and osteotomy angle. MATERIALS AND METHODS Computed tomography (CT) scanning of a dentate epoxy mandible was performed and its three-dimensional computeri...

The objectives of this study are to present a new concept of the bone anchorage using long implants in remote bone sites and to discuss four cases treated with this method. Our patients were treated with long implants with a distant anchorage in the skull bone. The planning procedure, the construction of the drill guide, and the surgical protocol are described. In the clinical cases described, ...

The aim of this narrative review is to describe treatment options for the posterior regions of the mandible and the maxilla, comparing short implants vs. longer implants in an augmented bone. The dental literature was screened for treatment options enabling the placement of dental implants in posterior sites with a reduced vertical bone height in the maxilla and the mandible. Short dental impla...

PURPOSE A new method of reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla by combining a bilateral sinus floor elevation and cancellous bone graft with buccal and labial onlay graft using L-shaped corticocancellous blocks from the posterior iliac crest is presented. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventeen patients were treated with this procedure. One hundred one IMZ implants were placed in 14 patients, and 22 B...

Purpose: To assess surgical success rate of placing dental implants in the atrophic posterior maxilla engaging the maxillary sinus floor in patients with inadequate posterior maxillary alveolar bone height (PMABH). Methods: 26 patients with PMABH of 7 10 mm had 39 implants placed between July 2012 and June 2014. These implants were placed protruding apically 1 3 mm into the maxillary sinus enga...

No immediate loading was performed. Four months after surgery, the implants were loaded, and an excellent aesthetic and functional result was achieved with no increase in bone volume from bone grafts. The entire residual bone was used as an anchorage for the implants. The excellent results achieved demonstrate that zygomatic implants in association with other conservative and guided surgical ap...

Despite the high success rates and stability of dental implants, failures do occur. While surgical trauma together with bone volume and quality are generally believed to be the most important etiological factors for early implant failures, the etio logy of late failures is more controversial. Early detection and treatment of early progressive bone loss around dental implants by mechanical debri...

Dental implant education is increasingly becoming part of predoctoral dental curricula. New York University College of Dentistry has developed a pilot dental implant program that trains students in implant restorations for single-tooth restorations and mandibular overdentures. Fourth-year students have the option of applying for an implant honors program, which can include surgically placing po...
