What are long implants?

Volume of

Zygoma bone:

2 x 2 x 2 cm

Overview

• Indications

• Techniques for long implants

• Clinical examples

Indications for long implants

• Terminal bone atrophy

• Failures of previous reconstructive procedures

• Defects (congenital, acquired, posttraumatic)

Long implants = end of the line in treatment modalities

What is terminal bone atrophy?

• Classification of bone atrophy

• How do we diagnose terminal bone

atrophy?

• Overview af treatment modalities with

advancing atrophy

The Misch Classification of bone resorption

A B B-w C-w C-h D

↓ Width ↓ Height

From: Dental Implant Prosthetic, Carl Misch

Misch classification

• Relates degree of bone atrophy to time

elapsed since extractions

• Allows a comparison of comparable cases

in the literature

• Resorption can be „modulated‟ by a

number of factors resulting in accelerated

resorption

Measuring = knowing: the bone table

H: 13.81 mm

W: 7.27 mm

Example : Bone table

Bone Table

• Principle:

– For each implant location

– Measure height and width

– Take into account eventual alveolectomy

– Compare measured values against minimum

required bone volume

– E.g. Height 10 mm; Width 6 mm

To guide or not to guide?

• Mental navigation

• Drill guide surgery

• Navigation technique

Mental Navigation

• Surgery is simulated on 3D software

• Performed freehand by the surgeon using

surgical skill and 3D knowledge of the

surgeon





Drill guide

• Types:

– SurgiGuide™ (Materialise)

– NobelGuide™ (NobelBiocare)

• Sometimes give a false impression of

safety

• Blind surgery if performed flapless

Postoperative imaging

Here we have an obvious problem !Apparent correct position of

both implants

Preoperative and postoperative matching

Frontal view Occlusal view

Distal displacement of the tip of the right

Zygomatic implant

Orange= planned position; Yellow = placed position

Top view Left lateral view

Orange= planned position; Yellow = placed position

Cranial displacement of the tip of the left

implant with pterygoid anchorage

>15 mm

>10 mm





Navigation technique

• Is more interactive than drill guide surgery

• Peroperative finding sometimes

≠radiological findings

• Seems to be the most flexible approach

To Guide or not to Guide?

• Usefulness of a conventional drill guide in

zygoma implants seems rather limited due

to very large exit points deviations

• Navigation technique seems to be very

promising

• Mental navigation depends on the

surgeons skills and ability to visualise in

3D

Conclusion

• Long implants can offer a solution for

totally „hopeless‟ cases

• The technique requires advanced surgical

skills and top notch prosthetic therapy

• The preoperative and postoperative

trajectory must be closely monitored in

order to evaluate the long term results of

this technique
