For chronic denture sufferers, this cutting-edge protocol
(Zygomatic dental implants) allows patients to have dental implants
and new teeth who previously were not able to wear
implant-supported teeth on the upper jaw, due to lack of supportive
bone, to do so without multiple and expensive bone enhancing
surgeries, which sometimes included grafting bone from the patients
hip. The nature of this revolutionary procedure also improves
healing and reduces post-surgical discomfort.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Treatment of the fully
edentulous (all teeth missing) upper jaw with moderate to severe
bone loss with a fixed implant supported teeth is a challenge. One
alternative long available has been the utilization of bone
transplant (bone grafting) often from patients' hip, chin, jaw, and
the skull. This required second surgical site, long healing time,
and more costs associated to the patient. "By offering our patients
with the implant alternatives to bone grafting with the Zygomatic
Implants for the completely edentulous (missing all teeth) upper
jaw we are able to fabricate either a fixed or removable implant
supported prosthesis (teeth)," says Dr. Atcha. Long Zygomatic
implants in each side of the upper jaw along with 2-4 conventional
implants patients can get their teeth for chewing and social
purpose sooner than later as extensive bone grafting is not
required and thus it is more cost effective to the our patients as
well says Atcha.
The science behind the modern dental breakthrough: "Many
patients suffer from the loss of teeth and the reality of having to
wear removable denture prosthesis. Difficulty with speech,
mastication and esthetics are just a few of the problems that come
with wearing dentures," says Atcha. Bite force also can be reduced
from 450 pounds per square inch to less than 50 in denture wearers.
Patients now have the option of having all of their teeth replaced
with zygoma implants that support either removable or non-removable
dental prosthetics. "These implant-supported prostheses look, act
and function more like a patient's prior dentition," mentions
Atcha. "We see patients that have visited other specialists and
their restorative dentists and they are told that they would need
bone removed from their hip or their skull to have the bone
grafting procedure done prior to having dental implants placed,"
says Dr. Atcha "In reality these patients are treated with 2
Zygomatic (long) implants in the back part of the upper jaw and 2-4
conventional implants in the front area of the upper jaw and I am
able to give them teeth for chewing and smiling in just a few weeks
or months versus years," says Atcha
The development of the Zygomatic implant presents a unique
alternative for total rehabilitation of the severely resorted
(shrunken) maxilla (upper jaw), with only one surgical procedure
and without the need for grafting. This long implant is anchored in
the upper jawbone/cheekbone and in the very dense zygoma bone. A
temporary prosthesis can be fixed immediately after placing the
implant and until the final restoration, once the prosthetic and
esthetic criteria have been met and your expectations have been
fulfilled. The main advantages of Zygomatic implants over sinus
lift and hip grafting procedures are the shorter duration of the
treatment and the success rate, which is 97% after 5 years,
according to scientific studies mentions Dr. Atcha. "If you are a
patient dissatisfied with your upper removable denture, you should
consider this option, because Zygomatic implants will give you the
opportunity to recover the biomechanics of your own natural teeth
with proper biting force according to Atcha".
The Zygomatic Implant technique will allow me to help the
patients with advanced bone loss that have been wearing ill fitting
dentures for years and have been told by their dentist that they
have no solutions as the only solution for them is to wear an ill
fitting upper denture," says Dr. Atcha. "I am very passionate about
helping patients that want a new lease on life with having teeth to
chew and enjoy their favorite foods again. We are one of the few
offices of its kind in the country that is providing this cutting
edge procedure to the denture sufferers," says Atcha.
