The insertion of pterygoid implants are alternatives to avoid sinus lift or bone grafting in the treatment procedure of the maxilla’s inner bone area.
Pterygoid implants are especially used in cases of partial tooth loss to avoid distal cantilevers in the restoration procedure.
The implementation of pterygoid implants requires highly qualified surgical experience.
Pterygoid implants have a high success rate (90.7%), bone loss rate equivalent to conventional implants, few complications but high body compatibility.
Indications
For patients with complete tooth loss in the upper jaw, implant insertion can be difficult when the level of jaw bone loss is high, combined with the placement position being quite close to the maxillary sinus area. In this case, pterygoid implants are considered a suitable choice when the remaining jaw bone is used as a position to anchor the implant without the need for bone grafting or sinus lift. To avoid distal cantilevers, pterygoid implants may be indicated in cases of partial or complete edentulism. Studies have shown that there is no clear difference between cannulated implants and pterygoid-maxillary implants.
Clinical recommendations
In science articles, the terms “pterygoid implants”, “pterygoid-maxillary implants” and “cannulated implants” are used interchangeably to describe implant insertion in the posterior molar region. By definition, “pterygoid implants” is the insertion to the posterior bone of the maxilla (the tuberosity), attached to the pterygoid plate. However, it is not necessarily in all cases that the implant is attached to the pterygoid plate but in the anterior position of the pterygoid-maxillary region, parallel to the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus.
Prognosis
The average success rate of pterygoid implants is 90.7%
Complications
Inserting a pterygoid implant can potentially cause bleeding from the pterygoid plexus or maxillary artery. However, this can be avoided by placing the implant directly in the cheekbone. Patients need to be examined, x-rayed and consulted by a doctor to get the most appropriate and safest treatment regimen.
