Pterygoid implants are a type of dental implant that is placed in the pterygoid bone, which is located in the back of the maxilla (upper jaw). This technique is used to provide support for full arch dental restorations in cases where there is not enough bone in the front of the jaw to support traditional implants.
Pterygoid implants are typically used in cases where the patient has lost all of their upper teeth and has been using a removable denture. The procedure involves placing two implants in the pterygoid bone, which is a dense and strong bone structure that provides excellent stability for the implants. The implants are then connected with a crossbar or other framework to provide support for a full arch dental restoration.
One of the benefits of pterygoid implants is that they can be used to support a full arch restoration in cases where traditional implants would not be possible due to insufficient bone volume. They also provide excellent stability and reduce the need for bone grafting procedures, which can be more invasive and time-consuming.
However, pterygoid implants require specialized training and experience to place, and the procedure can be more complex than traditional implant placement. Patients considering pterygoid implants should consult with an experienced implant dentist to determine if this technique is appropriate for their individual needs.
